Question

I have an account on an ssh-friendly lab machine where I store a lot of private projects so I can access them from multiple computers (and it allows me to only use my few privat

Answer 1

Use a full SSH path rather than Git’s shorthand:

git = "ssh://landmachine/bar/foo"

Answer 2

On macOS Sierra, I had to create a .ssh/config file like this:

Host *
   UseKeychain yes
   AddKeysToAgent yes
   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

with the private key (RSA) file pointed to, and then issue the command:

ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa

which (finally!) allowed an entry like:

git = "ssh://git@github.com/skipjaq/loda.git"

to work perfectly.

I do not know how often I will have to repeat the ssh-add command, but it appears this ought to hold at least until the next reboot.

This anomaly is apparently a feature of ssh-agent on macOS Sierra.
