Use GIT_SSH_COMMAND env variable

[Stefan Herold]

Description

We have a different SSH key for private/work. The environment variable can be used to configure this SSH key. Git automatically used the corect identity then. It would be specifies this way:

$ export GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa_work.pub"

It works for all git operations on the repo but not for Mint :-( I don't know why exactly. Since if the env var is set it should be used by git...

Okay I was wrong, when you use export GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa_work.pub" instead of GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa_work.pub" it workes. 👍
