I have a local git repo (on Windows machine) with a remote on gitlab. When I try to push from the Git Extensions GUI, I get this error:
git: '[email protected]' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
When I view the command that failed (in the Git Extensions command log) it's:
git push -v --recurse-submodules=check --progress "origin" refs/heads/master:refs/heads/master
But if I run this command from the command line (git bash), it succeeds.
I assume it's a setting/config problem in Git Extensions, but I am unable to fix it.
Two data points:
This used to work until I updated Git Extensions a few weeks back. The current version is 3.5.3.12551, git is 2.32.0.windows.
The URL in the .git/config is
url = [email protected]:the-path-to-my-repo
CodePudding user response：
The only recent change regarding SSH went into Git Extension 3.5.1 (Jul. 2021)
9112 SSH broken after upgrade to 3.5.0 (due to breaking setting change)
So:
- check if 3.5.0 works
- check if GIT_SSH was set (PR 9182)
In 3.4 or earlier, the OpenSSH path was set in the registry, even if it was supposed to be empty (handled in #9149).
If the OpenSSH path is corrupted (as reported and discussed in #9112 when upgrading GE) it will just be ignored.
This will also recover from issues if the Git installation is changed.
