By asking Claude 3 (AI) this are the steps.
set HOME=%CMDER_ROOT%.ssh set SSH_USER_HOME=%CMDER_ROOT%.ssh
I added a .ssh folder to the cmder root with the keys.
Yeah I would not do it that way.
Cmder has init scripts you can add that stuff to in your case it would be $CMDER_ROOT/config/user_profile.sh
Add:
export SSH_USER_HOME="$CMDER_ROOT/.ssh"
or whatever else you need to configure in your env.
You could also look at $CMDER_ROOT/config/profile.d
and just drop a *.sh|cmd|ps1
file to customize bash|cmd|or powershell sessions.
Yeah the AI made up a bad answer, LOL.

It does not recognise export as a command.
Yeah, I did not test it well and in fact, it does not work
If you edited $CMDER_ROOT/config/user_profile.sh
and are using bash::bash
then export
is indeed a valid command.
apparently i am using cmd::Cmder
For cmd::cmder
edit %CMDER_ROOT%/config/user_profile.cmd
and use set
instead of export
.
You can also do the same for PowerShell::PowerShell
by editing $env:CMDER_ROOT\config\user_profile.ps1
.
$env:SSH_USER_HOME = "$env:CMDER_ROOT\.ssh"
I tried that, and it does not give me an error message, but it wont add the keys. I checked start-ssh-agent.cmd
and SSH_USER_HOME
does not appear anywhere.
I can't find what to change in there to set the path.
I never said what you were trying to do would actually work. I have never even considered moving my ~/.ssh
folder as it is against well established convention.
I was just trying to tell you how to properly set env variables for various shells supported by Cmder.
You may have to make a copy of the script you mentioned and edit it to do what you need.
Ok, I need this to work in orther to have a portable working git with ssh keys so I don't have to copy my keys everywhere.
Wouldn't using the ssh agent be useful here?
Other than that, maybe editing the ssh\ssh_config
file in the vendor\git-for-windows
and setting the IdentityFile
variables to be a custom path can help you, such as ${CMDER_ROOT}/config/.ssh/...
or something like that.
Doing a quick search it seems that %SSH_USER_HOME%
is not associated with what you want to do, other people suggest changing the whole %HOME%
variable to point to somewhere (like CMDER_ROOT\config) and putting your .ssh
folder there.
Question
Right now it searches in "~/.ssh "but i would like to put a relative path to not have to copy my keys in the home directory of every computer that I use instead of geting them from the external drive. I have searched everywhere, I tried looking at user_profile.cmd, start-ssh-agent.cmd and init.bat.
