Re: Git in RDi 9.6.0.11

When I did that there was a security issue with the .ssh directory. the
user profile tying to set up the SSH communications was unable to use the
keys. I don't have the solution at my fingertips, and I doubt I saved the
emails anyway. On my MAC I set that directory to 700 and it worked.

I am trying to get a workable eGIT extension in my version of RDi, which
is 9.6.0.11 20210819_0803.

1st question:
What is the correct way to install the eGIT extension? I did not find eGIT
in the eclipse marketplace (I recall it being there in prior versions of
RDi). The way I eventually ended up installing was downloading and
installing V4.6.1.20171140-r from
https://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/FAQ#Where_can_I_find_older_releases_of_EGit.3F
based on the information in the 'What versions of Eclipse does EGit
target?' which indicates this version for 'Eclipse 4.4 + (Luna) and
thinking that my 9.6.011 version of RDi is based upon eclipse 4.6.3. I'm
not even sure that 4.6.3 is the version of eclipse that my RDi is based
upon - how can I find this info? Is there a newer version of egit that
will work with my RDi version?

2nd question:
I'm having issues setting up an ssh connection to our corporate gitlab. I
have generated SSH keys in powershell and registered them in gitlab, and
command line interface in windows and WSL both work with these keys.
HOWEVER, RDi doesn't seem to want to use my private key.
My private key is in the standard windows location:
C:\Users\jweirich\.ssh\id_rsa

In RDi I have gone to window > preferences > General > Network Connections

SSH2 > General and confirmed that SSH2 home: is the correct directory and

Private keys: has id_rsa

eGIT seems to work fine with my local GIT repo, I can stage and commit
just fine.
I used command line to add the gitlab project remote repo as origin and
confirmed I can fetch / pull, etc from command line.
The origin remote shows correctly in the Git Repositories view.
But when I stage, then, commit and push using the Git Staging view, the
SSH welcome message set up by my organization will appear several times,
and I hit OK each time, but after 3 or 4 tries eventually I get:

Can't connect to any repository: git@path/to/gitlab/project.git<mailto:
git@path/to/gitlab/project.git> (git@path/to/gitlab/project.git<mailto:
git@path/to/gitlab/project.git>: Auth fail)

(obfuscated the path in the error message above)

3rd question:
With push towards devops and ci/cd, Will future versions of RDi have git
capabilities built in without having to jump through these hoops?
