Hi.

I'd like to know if current egit/jgit supports using a ssh private key (with or without password) to sync to a git repository and how this could be accomplished.

Regards Michael

It does support it. Just make sure the key is listed in the workspace preferences, under General > Network Connections > SSH2.
