git - How to use libgit2sharp with ssh-transport-protocol?

Question

When I use libgit2sharp in project to clone repository with ssh-transport protocol, like

git@github.com:libgit2/libgit2sharp.git 

It throw an exception, says "This transport isn't implemented. Sorry"

How can I clone repository with ssh-transport-protocol by using libgit2sharp ?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, Ssh protocol is not supported yet. At this time only git:// (read-only) and http[s]:// protocols are.

However, it will eventually be, by leveraging the libssh2 library.

Subscribing to issue #255 notifications will keep you updated about the progress made regarding this feature.

Update:

There's a work in progress in libgit2 (see PR #2428) that should help us make LibGit2Sharp able to cope with the ssh protocol sooner rather than later.

Update 2:

PR #852 is working on making ssh available to LibGit2Sharp
