Getting prompted for passphrase for each push/pull #20

I'm not sure if this is an appropriate "issue" or if it's better handled somewhere else. I've just trying to push/pull to my forked copy of this repository but keep getting asked for my passphrase. If I enter it, it works, but I don't want to have to enter it for each push/pull/fetch/etc. I googled for a solution and saw something about add-ssh -K, but when I do that, I get prompted "Enter PIN for authentication:" Entering my passphrase there does not work and so I don't know what PIN it's are asking for. This is using Git Bash on Windows, by the way, if that matters. Anyone else run into this issue?

@dvdmon I haven't used Windows in ages, but I'm thinking it has to do with SSH Authentication.

Have a long at this, seems like a proper solution: https://gist.github.com/bsara/5c4d90db3016814a3d2fe38d314f9c23

I suggest first reading through it and understand what files and folders it's asking you to modify before you do anything, so that if it doesn't work, you can easily delete them.

Let me know if this works for you, so we can add this to the Wiki as a solution for Windows users who join the project :+1:

@jjaimealeman ok, thanks, after creating files, modifying them a bunch based on some of the comments there, I finally got it working!

jjaimealeman commented 2 years ago

@dvdmon

Awesome, glad it worked out!

If that gist worked out for you, I can link to it from the Wiki for other Windows users.
OR
Would you be able to make a something.md file documenting your steps? Instead of linking to an external source, we can keep all the content here to make it easier?! It'll be added to the Wiki and of course you'd get the credit as author.

dvdmon commented 2 years ago

Actually, I need to test it again as it seemed to stop working yesterday..

jjaimealeman commented 2 years ago

@dvdmon

Ok. Let me know how that goes?!

Heading back to bed soon for a few more hours 😴

@dvdmon

Has this been fixed?!

dvdmon commented 2 years ago

No, but I think it's something in the config file that I mistyped, I need to look at it still.

jjaimealeman commented 2 years ago

@dvdmon

Okay bud. Let me know how it all works out.

dvdmon commented 2 years ago

@jjaimealeman hey, sorry it took a while. Finally figured out that I'd accidentally added some characters to the .bashrc file that was messing with the script. After I removed them things are working again.

jjaimealeman commented 2 years ago

@dvdmon

At least you figured it out ;)

Aaahhh, trouble-shooting, Been doing that all weekend on my OS. Can you still work on something for the Wiki to help others with this?!

dvdmon commented 2 years ago

@jjaimealeman I can do that, but may not be for a bit as I'm kind of swamped with work right now.
