this is wherever you extracted the libgit2 source you got from VS2015's extensions directory, see BPas' link for details)Ĭmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DSTDCALL=ON -DSTATIC_CRT=OFF -DUSE_SSH=OFF -DLIBSSH2_FOUND=TRUE -DLIBSSH2_INCLUDE_DIRS=/include -DLIBSSH2_LIBRARIES=/build/src/Release/libssh2.lib.

Rebuild all, if successful, the resulting lib will be in build/src/Release/libssh2.libĭo the following: cd (e.g.

Edit the libssh2 project, and set the calling type to _stdcall (e.g.

Set the build type to 'Release' (this is important!).

Next, configure your default username, and email.

You can use older, but don't as you'll need to fix some build issues in VS2015.ĭo the following: cd (e.g. libgit2 source (grab the source from VS 2015 as noted in BPas's link).See the link in BPas' post for the basic stuff, e.g.

Here's some basic instructions for Visual Studio Update 2 and Update 3. The GitHub extension is open source, so it's possible that it may be able to use a different connection mechanism and begin supporting SSH before the core Git support in Team Explorer. However I cannot make any predictions as to when support might be available. Launch VSCode Look at USERPROFILE, notice that there is now an empty.

Microsoft is going to begin including OpenSSH in Windows (and is a sponsor of that very fine project). SSH key pairs enable us to log in and set up GitLab with Visual Studio without retyping the username and password for the account. That said, we are working on it, and making progress.

This is regrettable, but there are a handful of reasons why this is not available yet: the short answer is that in our opinion, providing SSH poorly or insecurely is worse than not providing SSH at all, and we would like to be very confident that any SSH implementation we provide is of high-quality. This is true even with GitHub repositories using the GitHub plug-in (which - at present - uses the same connection mechanism for Git repositories as any other Git repository using Team Explorer.) Add your key to ssh-agent (storing the passphrase in MacOS Keychain ) When you now open Visual Studio Code and start to synchronize your git repository the. In GitHub, go to your profile settings and locate SSH and GPG keys or simply follow this link to add a new SSH key. Visual Studio 2015 (RTM) does not support SSH for Git remotes. Just use ssh-agent on your machine to enter the passphrase for your ssh private key onceall subsequent calls that need your ssh key will use the saved passphrase.
