Caveats

I have Win10 services running for

  1. SSH ( Client / Server ) [ Auto ]
  2. SSH-Agent [ Auto ]
  3. .basrc
env=~/.ssh/agent.env

agent_load_env () { test -f "$env" && . "$env" >| /dev/null ; }

agent_start () {
    (umask 077; ssh-agent >| "$env")
    . "$env" >| /dev/null ; }

agent_load_env

# agent_run_state: 0=agent running w/ key; 1=agent w/o key; 2=agent not running
agent_run_state=$(ssh-add -l >| /dev/null 2>&1; echo $?)

if [ ! "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" ] || [ $agent_run_state = 2 ]; then
    agent_start
    ssh-add
elif [ "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" ] && [ $agent_run_state = 1 ]; then
    ssh-add
fi

unset env

Windows Update keeps all this updated. I did a test ssh connection to Github.

Hi inetbiz! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

I've been trying to make this work for weeks. I've googled my hear out. I'm sure there is a setting I've missed to make this work given I can connect to Github from the CLI*?

From: https://serverfault.com/questions/888350/windows-10-ssh-disable-password-authentication

I edited c:\ProgramData\ssh\sshd_config (aka %PROGRAMDATA%\ssh\sshd_config)

I added:

UsePAM no

OS restarted. Same git output as above.^

System's sshd_config

# This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file.  See

# possible, but leave them commented.  Uncommented options override the
# default value.
