In Windows 10 I am using a bash shell terminal in VScode. I just typed : " ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa "

Notice: in windows we don't use the -K parameter "ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa" which causes the problem.

Allthough if you created your ssh-key with a passphrase, you will be asked for it.

Thank You!

I got an error "Could not open a connection to your authentication agent" I had to issue "eval 'ssh-agent -s'" first.

Thank you!
