Issue
My flutter App depends on a module privately hosted on github.
When I run pub get from Powershell, i get:
Git error. Command: `git clone --mirror ssh://[email protected]:dirkbo/repo-name.git C:\src\flutter\.pub-cache\git\cache\repo-name-123ba`
stdout:
stderr: Cloning into bare repository 'C:\src\flutter\.pub-cache\git\cache\repo-name-123ba'...
[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
exit code: 128
When I copy the failed command and run directly in the same powershell:
git clone --mirror [email protected]:dirkbo/repo-name.git C:\src\flutter\.pub-cache\git\cache\repo-name-123ba
Everything works fine:
Cloning into bare repository 'C:\src\flutter\.pub-cache\git\cache\repo-name-123ba'...
Enter passphrase for key '/c/Users/dirkb/.ssh/id_rsa':

In my pubspec.yaml I tried:
repo:
git: ssh://[email protected]/dirkbo/repo-name.git
(result see above)
and
repo:
git: [email protected]:dirkbo/repo-name.git
which gives me:
Git error. Command: `git fetch`
stdout:
stderr: [email protected]: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

It seems like the batch command running pub get can't find my ssh key.
Solution
The problem was that Windows did't use the correct ssh programm and instead of openssh was using it's internal ssh program, which of course didn't know about my keys in openssh.
git config --global core.sshCommand "'C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\ssh.exe'"
So after configuring git to use OpenSSH, flutter pub get finds my keys, asks for a password and pulls the package correctly.
