Windows PowerShell doesn’t use my SSH keys

1

I have a Git repository hosted on Bitbucket. I can connect to this using Git Bash terminal, which uses my public key defined in my H: drive (network drive), but if I try the same from Windows PowerShell, it just runs through all the authentication methods before ending on asking for a password (last resort).

Why doesn’t Windows PowerShell read my public key?

Which ssh.exe are you invoking when you call it in Powershell? The default installation option for Git Bash only put C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd into your PATH, so other command line utilities in C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin are not available in posh. Maybe in your Powershell prompt, when you call ssh, you are invoking another file. – joon – 2013-09-27T12:49:07.553
