Git push failed: ssh-askpass no such file or dir on Windows

[lborcard]

Hello,

I am using the plugin for git and it always fails to push unless I use git bash manually to push. The problem stems from the fact that I am using windows and it seems that it's looking for linux files. I have looked for the command that's launching this but I could not find it, I would like to use gitbash for that but I don't where to modify that.

Error message:

Git push failed
ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/lib/ssh/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory
git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

best,

Loïc

Same is true for Linux (Ubuntu) for me. Mac works fine

This fixed it on my Linux box: #57 (comment)
I set the config to local not global.

Have you tried installing ssh_askpass like mentioned in your error? The plugin doesn't function properly when the ssh key has a passkey. Installing ssh_askpass will create a window for you to input your passkey.
