I have a few computers I dev on, been using VS Code for many years, never had a problem. But my new computer's VS Code is missing most Git features, can't even Git Fetch from VS Code, BUT git works great in CMD, Powershell, and Git Bash.
My setup is: Windows 10.0.19041 VS Code 1.52.1 Git for Windows 2.30.0.windows.1
I have an SSH key with a passphrase in:
C:/Users/USERNAME/.ssh/id_rsa
The sidebar Git seems to do local tasks, it will tell me how many files have been modified, and I can commit from there. I'm (sorely) missing the gutter changed/added indicators, and when I try to use Git Fetch from the command bar (Ctrl + P) it fails, here's the output:
> git fetch
git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

It's a public repo on Github, on my local file system. It makes no sense why I can't fetch.
I can press Ctrl backtick to get a powershell console and type git fetch -v and get:
PS C:\Users\wesru\reveal.js> git fetch -v
Enter passphrase for key 'C:\Users\wesru\.ssh\id_rsa':
From github.com:wesruv/reveal.js
= [up to date] gh-pages -> origin/gh-pages
I have tried:
- Reinstalled Git and VS Code
- Simplifying
.gitconfigin my Users folder - Adding more specificity and adding github.com IdentityFile
- Specifying
git.pathin VS Code toC:/Program Files/Git/cmd/git.exeandC:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe(and validated that VS Code was using htem in the Git Output - Reinstalling Git for Windows and using Pageant/Plink for SSH (but I've reinstalled again and gone to OpenSSH)
- Probably other things
Nothing seems to work. :(
