问题
after switching over to a new computer I had to install SmartGIT for Windows again and now try to clone my fedorahosted.org-repository. Keys are stored C:/User/myusername/.ssh, SmartGIT comes with a clean installation and URL for cloning my repository is correct - unfortunately SmartGIT does NOT ask for the key, it just tries to connect to fedorahosted.org but then of course fails.
So...what could be wrong here? Where do I have to place my ssh keys so that SmartGIT finds and uses it?
回答1:
Was facing the same problem, as Smart Git wouldn't ask me for the SSH key location when trying to clone a repo (instead, the process would just hang..).
Steps to resolve (on Windows):
- Copy ssh keys to C:/Users/MyUserName/.ssh (as they were in a different location before after generation)
- Clone the repository in Smart Git again, now after specifying the repository URL, it DID ask for the SSH key location (this dialog was not shown before!)
- Select the SSH private key (which has been converted with e.g. Putty Keygen to an OpenSSH compatible format)
- Voila, cloning works!
PS: I agree Smart Git's behavior above was weird here, as it would only let u select the key location, if the keys are in the .ssh folder specified above

I had same problem. select option 'Use SmartGit as SSH client' from SmartGit -> Edit-> Preference -> Authentication And it worked.
