Lead #1: defining the 'HOME' W10 variable as follows set HOME = %USERPROFILE

But it doesn't work because we got the previous ssh debug logs where ssh.exe points to the /home/bruno.sarrant/.ssh/ directory see this link

Lead #2: check the "password" file configuration regarding the "home" path definition

however it doesn't work in my case because I'm using TortoiseGit which provided the whole ssh configuration

So that message occurs every single time that I attempt to login to the remote machine. So the question is, how do I solve this problem? The solution was actually quite simple! First locate the file called 'passwd' in your C:\path\to\cygwin\etc directory and open it with wordpad. Second, replace the text /home/YOUR_NAME with /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/YOUR_NAME Finally, save the file.

see this link

Lead #3: installing atom/tortoise-git

a package was developed for allowing Atom to interact with installed TortoiseGit (see dev page)

• direct installation process with help of package manager seems not working
• test with the command line apm install tortoise-git instead
• results: no available realease

C:\Users\user
λ apm install tortoise-git
Installing tortoise-git to C:\Users\user\.atom\packages failed
No releases available for tortoise-git

Lead #4 : Atom interactions with the Git's bunch of config files

Git defines several layers of config files:

• Local: config file located in %CLONED_GITHUB_PROJECT/.git directory
• Global: .gitconfig file located in %USERPROFILE% directory
• Systemwide: config file located in C:\ProgramData\Git directory
• Git-Win specifics: config file located in C:\BS Program Files\Git\mingw64\etc

The question is how this structure could articulate with Atom ...

extract of the different files:

• local

[core]
	repositoryformatversion = 0
	filemode = false
	bare = false
	logallrefupdates = true
	symlinks = false
	ignorecase = true
[remote "origin"]
	url = git@github.com:bsarrant/AtomTestsWithGit.git
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	puttykeyfile = C:\\Users\\user\\.ssh\\%PRIVATE_KEY_FILE%.ppk
[branch "master"]
	remote = origin
	merge = refs/heads/master

• Global

[filter "lfs"]
	clean = git-lfs clean -- %f
	smudge = git-lfs smudge -- %f
	required = true
	process = git-lfs filter-process
[user]
	name = %GITHUB_USERNAME%
[user]
	email = %USER_EMAIL%

• Systemwide

[core]
	symlinks = false
	autocrlf = true
	fscache = true
[color]
	diff = auto
	status = auto
	branch = auto
	interactive = true

	sslCAInfo = C:/BS Program Files/Git/mingw64/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
[diff "astextplain"]
	textconv = astextplain
[rebase]
	autosquash = true

• Git-Win specifics

[http]
	sslCAInfo = C:/BS Program Files/Git/mingw64/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
	sslBackend = openssl
[diff "astextplain"]
	textconv = astextplain
[filter "lfs"]
	clean = git-lfs clean -- %f
	smudge = git-lfs smudge -- %f
	process = git-lfs filter-process
	required = true
[credential]
	helper = manager
[core]
	editor = 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe' -multiInst -notabbar -nosession -noPlugin

Interim solution

• Using Atom for development / write-ups
• Managing Versioning with TortoiseGit
• Pursue the investigations with a focus on TortoiseGit
• Potential solution :
  • clean the environment
  • install a git / cygwin Versioning solution
  • retest the leads above
