Problem with Hudson + Git + Gitosis on windows

  • 772

I have Hudson configured to connect to a Gitosis managed repository. I am using the Git plugin.

To manually clone a repo, I need to enter my ssh pass phrase. How can I make Hudson aware of my passphrase? There is a version of ssh-agent that comes with msysgit, but this is only available from git bash.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Generate an ssh key that does not have a passphrase, and have Hudson use that. The point of a passphrase is to ensure that you personally are present when something uses the key -- for a server process, it doesn't make sense to have one.

    The same ssh-keygen program that is typically used to generate an ssh key will cheerfully do so with no passphrase.
