ssh.variant::
|
|
By default, Git determines the command line arguments to use
|
|
based on the basename of the configured SSH command (configured
|
|
using the environment variable `GIT_SSH` or `GIT_SSH_COMMAND` or
|
|
the config setting `core.sshCommand`). If the basename is
|
|
unrecognized, Git will attempt to detect support of OpenSSH
|
|
options by first invoking the configured SSH command with the
|
|
`-G` (print configuration) option and will subsequently use
|
|
OpenSSH options (if that is successful) or no options besides
|
|
the host and remote command (if it fails).
|
|
+
|
|
The config variable `ssh.variant` can be set to override this detection.
|
|
Valid values are `ssh` (to use OpenSSH options), `plink`, `putty`,
|
|
`tortoiseplink`, `simple` (no options except the host and remote command).
|
|
The default auto-detection can be explicitly requested using the value
|
|
`auto`. Any other value is treated as `ssh`. This setting can also be
|
|
overridden via the environment variable `GIT_SSH_VARIANT`.
|
|
+
|
|
The current command-line parameters used for each variant are as
|
|
follows:
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
* `ssh` - [-p port] [-4] [-6] [-o option] [username@]host command
|
|
|
|
* `simple` - [username@]host command
|
|
|
|
* `plink` or `putty` - [-P port] [-4] [-6] [username@]host command
|
|
|
|
* `tortoiseplink` - [-P port] [-4] [-6] -batch [username@]host command

Except for the `simple` variant, command-line parameters are likely to
|
|
change as git gains new features.
