I have a windows server 2012 with bitvise ssh server installed on it, beside git and git bash, I have set up a virtual user and git it full permission over a folder contains a git repository (Let's call it GR). Now when I open the server via remove desktop connection and open GR folder using cmd and perform git pull everything works as expected and I get the latest commits. but When I connect to the server via ssh client and change the directory cd to GR folder and perform git pull the execution hangs forever and it's not working. I tried to change bitvise to PowerShell but I got the same result, so anyone could help me on how am I going to run git pull command over ssh on windows server.

Note: I change the ssh default port for windows server bitvise but It didn't work

Have you opened all the required ports on the server? Firewall traffic? you can try execute git pull --trace-ascii

This should give you some more overview hopefully.

I managed to solve the issue as follows:

  • Execute GIT_TRACE=1 which give me where the git command is stuck 19:07:59.137016 run-command.c:643 trace: run_command: git-credential-manager get
  • Now I knew that the ssh doesn't have access for window credential manager, so I need a way to provide the credentials inside git pull command, as I'm using GitLab I used git clone https://username:token@gitlab.com/user/repo.git
