sourcetree git command line with ssh authentication

[Robbin Bonthond]

how can I use the sourcetree embedded git client from the terminal with ssh authentication? I'm able to clone a repo via the gui (via putty setup), but an equivalent git clone command via the terminal fails

Sounds odd, I'm at a loss. Let's hope one of the Atlassian guys jumps in here.

I can login via sourcetree gui, and putty, but not via the embedded git command via the terminal. "$GIT_SSH" reports "plink: Release 0.63". I can do "$GIT_SSH" stash.server.com, but I cannot do "git ls-remote" from the command line. It's like the embedded git version refuses to read $GIT_SSH

Can you SSH into the stash server from the git embedded client? If not, see if this is relevant: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/msysgit/Xf1Af3vrHX8

hi, I can do a "git clone" via the gui using putty in the background, but when I start a terminal, and use the git embedded client (1.8.3) to do a "git clone", then I get ssh authentication failures. This works via the gui without issues (sourcetree 1.4.0.0)

git clone ssh://stash.company.com/cad/gitbm.git
Cloning into 'repo'...
ssh_control_listener_bind(): No such file or directory
fatal: Could not read from remote repository

Kindly provide more details on the problem. Somehelpful specifics would be the "equivalent git clone command" that is failing, as well as any error messages that are notifying you of the failure.
