Setup

• Which version of Git for Windows are you using? Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?

  2.2 via Chocolatey.

• Which version of Windows are you running? Vista, 7, 8, 10? Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?

  Win 7 SP2

Details

• Which terminal/shell are you running Git from? e.g Bash/CMD/PowerShell/other

CMD or Powershell. Often via VS Code integrated terminal.
ssh [email protected]

• What did you expect to occur after running these commands?

  I expect to use the Win32 OpenSSH port instead of the tweaked OpenSSL. Here's the link to the project

• What actually happened instead?

It didn't use it.

This should work:

git config --global --add core.sshCommand C:/Windows/System32/OpenSSH/ssh.exe

This issue is acknowledged, and simply needs a contributor with a little time to work on it (it is really not all that hard).

Thanks for those references, I didn't see those for whatever reason. Don't have time myself to work on those but I can adopt the tweaks mentioned for now.

Thanks @congyiwu for putting in a bit of effort to drive this issue, even if it is now blocked.
