I just wanted to follow-up that I was able to finally get this working. It's quite a bit more complicated on Windows than Mac or Linux :)
For anybody else on Windows the way I finally got this working was to use ssh and the ssh-agent to store the password for my private key. However, ssh-agent was quite a pain to get running within Windows. I finally had to just create an init-script in my %HOME%/.profile that started the agent and set the appropriate environment variables and switch to using the git-bash instead of the windows cmd prompt. The init script I ended up using came from this blog posting: http://markashleybell.com/articles/portable-git-windows-setting-home-environment-variable - Chris ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Chris Adams <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Jul 27, 2011 at 3:15 PM Subject: Git Remote Authentication To: [email protected] Hi, I was wondering what is the proper way of handling git push, etc. with buildr? Is it to use a netrc or ssh/config? Is there a way to specify the password in a configuration file that buildr will then use and input the password?
