Enable keychain when invoking :Git push about vim-fugitive HOT 9 CLOSED

This is OS X I take it? Are you running MacVim or console Vim?

from vim-fugitive.

Hi,

nope - this is Arch Linux running no DE, just Xmonad + some basic stuff like tmux, zsh etc. I start gvim with dmenu :)

Okay, so I take it you are referring to ssh-agent then. If you echo $SSH_AGENT_PID in a terminal, do you see a pid? What about if you :echo $SSH_AGENT_PID in gvim?

from vim-fugitive.

In console there is a PID when I issue in vim (in console) :!echo $SSH_AGENT_PID there is the pid, when I run gvim with dmenu echo in gvim shows nothing, when I fork gvim from terminal - I've got a pid. No need for tweaking vim-fugitive then :) I'll just run gvim from inside urxvt and issue solved :) thanks for pointing this var :)

Great! Note that if you really care to troubleshoot it, it is quite possible to make it work both ways (I can invoke gvim from fvwm's menus in Debian and $SSH_AGENT_PID is set), but how to do it varies from distro to distro, and I can't speak for Arch Linux.

Getting the ssh-agent info .xinitrc is the easiest solution. I also put it in every zsh instance as well.

@mathstuf - how do you handle key password prompt in xinitrc?

from vim-fugitive.

@tpope, I'll investigate the problem. Most likely it's due to my minimalistic configuration, which uses keychain only in zshrc :)

from vim-fugitive.

I don't handle passwords at X start. I start the daemon (using keychain, link below) there (or "attach" if it's already running) and any ssh-add calls from there get shared to all other shells and the X session. I have so many ssh keys (they're also symlinked to an automounted directory if my USB key is found, so they may not be accessible anyways) that asking for passwords would be really cumbersome.
