but there is a settings there :) (not as complete as that, but we should arrive) what I’m thinking is to change the “default” to “ssh-agent or guess”: try to get the ssh-agent credentials, if that fails try to guess based on what is in default directory (.ssh) and if not then raise the exception. Is a hack, but I think it will work. Now, in fact ssh-agent works in 99% of the cases when you are out of windows (most people have it configured by default and with default options), the problem is that Stef does not do anything default (which is good, because then is a good border-case detector) :) > > btw, I'm curious why the pub key is required?
