This is a gist used in the following blog posts:
Git for Windows comes bundled with the "Git Bash" terminal which is incredibly handy for unix-like commands on a windows machine. It is missing a few standard linux utilities, but it is easy to add ones that have a windows binary available.
The basic idea is that C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\
is your /
directory according to Git Bash (note: depending on how you installed it, the directory might be different. from the start menu, right click on the Git Bash icon and open file location. It might be something like C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Programs\Git
, the mingw64
in this directory is your root. Find it by using pwd -W
).
If you go to that directory, you will find the typical linux root folder structure (bin
, etc
, lib
and so on).
If you are missing a utility, such as wget, track down a binary for windows and copy the files to the corresponding directories. Sometimes the windows binary have funny prefixes, so
WARNING This approach does not enable impersonation. Thus, only a single user account is able to connect through ssh - the same user we use for running the Windows service. At time of writing it seem to only be possible with cygwin or msys2 to achieve multi-user support for sshd under Windows. E.g. https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Windows/SSHD
- Latest Git for Windows. I tried it with v2.6.0. (Note: with v2.5.3 sshd tried to load authorized keys from /c/.ssh instead of ~/.ssh).
