Git cloning a project asks for git@git.drupal.org password I'm trying to switch to SSH keys as the password authentication is now deprecated and I am having an issue. I've created a new key pair and entered the public key in my account and setup my Git Bash to use the private key.

When I try to clone one of my projects, I get a password prompt asking for "git@git.drupal.org' password.

However, when I run  ssh git@git.drupal.org -v, it asks for my private key password and the output log says that I was authenticated.


  debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey).
  Authenticated to git.drupal.org ([140.211.10.43]:22).


Why does the above appear to authenticate but running something like the following does not?

git clone --branch 8.x-1.x git@git.drupal.org:project/MY_PROJECT.git


EDIT: I'm using Git Bash on Windows.
I was finally able to solve the issue by removing all git programs from my computer and then reinstalling only Git (bash). I think Tortoise Git was interfering somehow and causing the issue.

After removals and clean install, my clone worked right away. Simple.
