ssh_askpass

ASKPASS CMD TOOL


Description

This returns the path to the native askpass executable which can be used by git-credential or ssh-agent. Most users don't have worry about this.

Usage

ssh_askpass()

Details

On Windows and MacOS the package automatically sets the SSH_ASKPASS and GIT_ASKPASS variables on load (if not already set). If these are set you should be able to run e.g. sys::exec_wait("ssh-add") and you should be prompted for a passphrase if your key is protected.
