There are two ways you can do this, using the git config command, or directly editing the global configuration file directly. Next, we need to tell Git you use the OpenSSH client provided by Windows and not the one bundled with it.

Step 4 – Update your global Git configuration to use the OpenSSH for Windows Remove all users and groups except for SYSTEM and your user account.Removing inheritance (select copy when prompted).By default, it isn’t, so we will need to update the security permissions on this file by: The SSH key agent will check the permissions of your private key to ensure it is correctly secured. By default, you can/should call the private key id_rsa and the public key should be id_rsa.pub. Get your existing private key (or generate a new SSH keypair) and place the private key into the.

Personally, I prefer using SSH as it is the tool that I am more familiar and comfortable with it. This is a good question! For most users, I recommend that they use the built-in Git Credential Provider.
Side: Why not just use the Credential Provider? I spent some time getting everything to work and wanted to help anyone else who might be having issues. If you are not familiar with the SSH Agent, it caches your private key, so you are not prompted to enter your password for your private key every single time you use it. I was setting up my new Surface Pro 6 and wanted to ensure that I was using the built in SSH client and particularly, the SSH Agent. The biggest benefit for the average user is that they can now use a supported OpenSSH client, without downloading and installing any other software. This client has been installed by default since the April 2018 Update (1803). Microsoft has included an OpenSSH client with Windows 10 since the Fall Creators Release (1709).
