Android studio git using private key

Goltsev Eugene picture Goltsev Eugene · Apr 26, 2016 · Viewed 28.6k times · Source

A have an address of git repository.
Also I have a private key in open-ssh format.

Is it possible for git in Android Studio to use it?
I tried to search some info, but no luck at this time.

Thanks for any useful information!

Edit. My steps:
1. I put my private key in .ssh folder (Users/user).
2. In Android studio I run: File - Settings - Version Control - Git and put the path to Git executable.

3. Then VCS - Checkout from vesrion control - Git. I put repository address there. enter image description here

If I continue here, there is:

But I don't have username and password, only key.
If I try:

got the following:

And how Android Studio would know, that it should take my private key instead of standard id_rsa file?

Ok, finally got it working!

What I did - switched to .ssh folder, then replaced contents of id_rsa key (as I understand, this is default ssh key of Android Studio) with contents of my ssh key.

Still don't know the way, how can I point Android Studio to my ssh key, but in such way it works.
