Connecting to self-hosted GIT server

Hello, 

I use a self-hosted GIT server with ssh publickey.

I can do anything with git commands in cmd window (stared from Flyway Desktop Community).

However, from the desktop the Version contol / fetch updates gives error:

info   |[App] git response (code 1):

error  |[App] git-fetch error:
{"shortMessage":"Running git fetch failed","longMessage":"Could not read from remote repository.
Raw git output:

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

and the repository exists.","type":"E_GIT_FAIL"}

How can I set the .gitconfig settings (git parameters) for using the Desktop's builtin GIT commands? 

Thanks, Peter

    Hi cserna.peter 

    Thank you for reaching out on the Redgate forum regarding your Flyway self-hosted GIT inquiry.

    You need to point Flyway Desktop’s built-in Git to your SSH key, as it doesn’t always use the same config as your terminal.

    A quick fix is to edit your global .gitconfig (e.g. C:\Users\<you>\.gitconfig) and add:

    [core]
    sshCommand = "ssh -i C:/Users/<You>/.ssh/id_rsa"

    Then restart Flyway Desktop.

    Also make sure your key is loaded with:

    ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

    and that git remote -v shows an SSH URL (not HTTPS).

    This usually fixes the Permission denied (publickey) error for the embedded Git client.

    Connecting to a self-hosted Git server allows you to manage your code repositories with greater control, privacy, and customization compared to third-party services like GitHub or GitLab.

    Hello Jon, 

    Thank you for the clues! Unfortunately, I got the same error message after the changes.

    From CMD I can run e.g. git status (with the repo SSH URL) successfully and I do not need to enter my password. I started Flyway desktop from the same CMD and I got the same message if I clicked on the checkout button. (There are correct information on the uncommitted changes.)
