Git: Unable to find remote helper for 'ssh'

Whenever I try to push to a remote repository via SSH I keep getting the following error message: fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'ssh'.

Using:

  1. Cygwin 2.5.0
  2. Git 2.8.1
  3. Windows 7 64 Bit
  4. ssh-pageant

The thing is that I had the exactly same approach working quite a while ago on one of the projects and now decided to try using it for another.

OpenSSL, Git and Curl are all in place.

Any suggestions?

I had the same error message. I guess I had a malformed ssh url in the git command.

I removed ssh part ssh:://, changed host name (taken from ~/.ssh/config) to IP address, and that worked.

Decided to give this approach another try and it worked. Seemed to be some sort of an issue with curl.

"Unable to find remote helper for 'https'" during git clone

Thanks anyway!
