Why not ssh -i /cygdrive/c/Users/myhome/.ssh/id_xxxx git@gitlab.com ? – Eugen Rieck – 2018-06-22T16:20:45.780

You are correct. ssh doesn't use $HOME to find the .ssh directory or the default ssh keys. – Kenster – 2018-06-22T17:38:57.023

@Kenster where does it look for ? How do I configure it to different location ? – Jigar Shah – 2018-06-25T09:43:07.217
