Re: [Fab-user] Problems with 'git pull' and key authentication

[Mike]

You can run a ssh-agent with your key loaded in it.. and that will just prompt you for the passpharse when you load the agent. Then each ssh using that key won't prompt you

Unfortunately, yes, so you'd need a passphraseless key set up
specifically for systems which need Git access. Not a great solution,
though on the other hand that setup isn't uncommon either (given the
various situations where interactivity won't ever be possible/wanted,
e.g. CI servers, cron jobs, etc).

I'm still plugging away at the interactivity issue; if I'm lucky and
it looks like I can set up something fully backwards compatible*, I'll
probably merge something into master soon (if not release an actual
1.0, though that will also be relatively soon).

Best,
Jeff


* The default user-level behavior should be the same, but the
underlying mechanism will change significantly to allow the optional
interactivity, so there's lots of chances for edge-case bugs to crop
up.
