1 | ssh.variant:: |
2 | By default, Git determines the command line arguments to use | |
3 | based on the basename of the configured SSH command (configured | |
4 | using the environment variable `GIT_SSH` or `GIT_SSH_COMMAND` or | |
5 | the config setting `core.sshCommand`). If the basename is | |
6 | unrecognized, Git will attempt to detect support of OpenSSH | |
7 | options by first invoking the configured SSH command with the | |
8 | `-G` (print configuration) option and will subsequently use | |
9 | OpenSSH options (if that is successful) or no options besides | |
10 | the host and remote command (if it fails). | |
11 | + | |
12 | The config variable `ssh.variant` can be set to override this detection. | |
13 | Valid values are `ssh` (to use OpenSSH options), `plink`, `putty`, | |
14 | `tortoiseplink`, `simple` (no options except the host and remote command). | |
15 | The default auto-detection can be explicitly requested using the value | |
16 | `auto`. Any other value is treated as `ssh`. This setting can also be | |
17 | overridden via the environment variable `GIT_SSH_VARIANT`. | |
18 | + | |
19 | The current command-line parameters used for each variant are as | |
20 | follows: | |
21 | + | |
22 | -- | |

24 | * `ssh` - [-p port] [-4] [-6] [-o option] [username@]host command | |
25 | ||
26 | * `simple` - [username@]host command | |
27 | ||
28 | * `plink` or `putty` - [-P port] [-4] [-6] [username@]host command | |
29 | ||
30 | * `tortoiseplink` - [-P port] [-4] [-6] -batch [username@]host command | |

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