SourceTree hangs when pushing unless I re-add my ssh key

[taji34]

Every time I close and re-open SourceTree it hangs when I try to push commits, this being all the farther it gets:

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false push -v --tags origin master:master
Pushing to git@taji34:taji34/Troncraft.git

The only thing that fixes the problem is re-adding my ssh key, then everything works until the next time I close it. I'm using OpenSSH, is this a known problem and/or does it have a solution? If not I can live with it, it's just a tad bit annoying.

I've been experience this (or a similar) problem, SourceTree hangs at this same point, although the push is successful. I never experience a problem doing a regular git push from a shell though.

I'll keep you updated if I discover anything more.

Doh, i've just realised this question is over a year old, did you find a solution?

[taji34]

Only my account is allowed to push to that repository. But I'm not having issues there, since I am able to push, it just seems that OpenSSH forgets that my SSH keys exist or something, so I have to re-add them everytime.

Do you have Tools\Options\Automatically start SSH agent... switched on? If not, it probably hangs because OpenSSH in not running when you push.

[taji34]

Yes it is checked, but it's greyed out, so I don't think that is an option for OpenSSH.

[Balázs Szakmáry]

Could you check if OpenSSH is actually running when you push?

[taji34]

Is there an easy way to check that?

Task Manager?

The push address seems to have a password in it.
