Github private repository in platformio library manager

Libraries
#1

Hi, I’m trying and failing in configuring platformio to pull library from private Github repository.
According to this https://github.com/platformio/platformio-core/issues/537 it should be possible, but I’m still failing.
I’m using VSCode IDE on Windows 10, plus I have Git for windows and Github client installed.

  1. I have ssh-agent running with correct private key added (I tested that using git from command line)
  2. I tried several options in configuring platformio.ini
    git+ssh://git@github.com/org/repository.git
    git@github.com:org/repository.git
  3. but none of them works (I tried few more, but definitely wrong syntax) - I’m getting “permission denied (publickey)” error
  4. I copied command line from IDE error window and run it directly from CMD - it went through without any issue

Any idea on how to make it work?

All right. Found the way around it.

Solution is to forget about ssh-agent and configure ssh config file properly
Host github.com
StrictHostKeyChecking no
IdentityFile c:\Users\me\.ssh\private_key_rsa
