That's the reason I haven't come back here since my original post, until getting another message today from this thread and getting curious. There should be a way to specify the location of an existing ssh key!Īnother option, and the one I chose, is to switch to Github Desktop, as I really don't like a software vendor who breaks existing, widely-expected intuitive behavior without warning, and then ignores customer complaints about it for months. Not letting me use my existing ssh key is a recipe for losing me as a customer - I don't like being forced to change the way I work. Why can't I use the ssh key which I want to use? Why isn't this finding my default ssh key like all other programs I have which use ssh, including earlier versions of SourceTree. Now, I see no way to specify this key, it's not being found despite being in the normal location on Mac/Linux systems, and it seems the only way to use ssh is to generate a new ssh key - WHICH I DO NOT WANT TO DO. I used to be able to use this with SourceTree. Now, I get a message "no key found", despite the fact I have ~/.ssh/id_rsa defined, it's in my agent and Apple keychain, and I can use this fine everywhere else. Before, I could pick one of my ssh keys (I have dozens, but mainly use one for work and another for personal Git repos) during setup. It seems there is some change to how the setup and configuration of SSH keys work. I'm on a new project where I have to collaborate with some people on Windows and suggested they use SourceTree, and wanted to re-install SourceTree on my macs so I could help them learn this by demonstration, as I have used this from time to time in the past. I normally use the command line git client to work with GitHub or BitBucket. I just rebuilt my laptop and iMac with clean installs of MacOS Sierra.
