Support User Path Expansion #3

Open wildintellect opened 3 years ago

wildintellect commented 3 years ago

Wondering if we want to support User Path expansion for the SSH related env variables. This would enable the env to use things like SSH_CONFIG_LOCATION="~/.ssh/config"

Probably just requires wrapping the use of those variables in the python code with os.path.expanduser. Not sure if this creates any unintended side effects, or if will work well cross platform.

Open Question: Where does WSL store it's ssh config. All that really matters is that the publickey is read from the correct place, and that VSCode or other SSH client looks at the correct file.

Turned out my issue was the ENV wanted the contents of the SSH_PUBLIC_KEY not the path. Updating code to take path, and read the key from it.

This enhancement idea is still valid.
