using SSH instead of username\password

[shersh]

Because of username and password deprication https://github.blog/2020-12-15-token-authentication-requirements-for-git-operations/

We should use SSH keys for auth. How I can to do it with lib?

You may find the link interesting: clone a git repository with SSH and libgit2sharp

and this thread https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2sharp/issues/1422

@aloisdg Thx, but it 5 years old and no commit this time, so it is not working solution

@shersh I plan to do it quite barebone with a powershell call to git

Hello, I trying to use LibGit2Sharp with SSL.

I merged libgit2sharp master branch with SSL branch. Thats ok!

But, how to get git2 dll and libssh/zlib updated DLLs for Windows ? I'm trying to build libgit2 but it seems to be a quite complex...

You can build git2.dll. Just go thru the "Quick Start" section. You need VS and python(if you require tests) installed. After that install cmake.

1. clone the repo
2. go to the cloned folder(cd )
3. mkdir build
4. cd build
5. cmake ..

Build

The above will create the necessary things under the build folder. You can open the .sln file using VS. And build in VS.

OR

cmake --build .

The above step will create the .dll file under the bin folder.

Hello, is there still no ssh support in libgit2sharp? I found a repo with an ssh extension to libgit2sharp but the last commit is from 2016... so we won't be using this I guess.

ssh would be a great addition to this tool

This is such a bummer. I was really excited about this library before I found out about this lack of SSH support. I understand the explanation provided in #1422 but I don't get why it can't be a use-at-your-own-risk kind of option.
