ssh_askpass {askpass} | R Documentation

## ASKPASS CMD TOOL

### Description

This returns the path to the native askpass executable which can be used by git-credential or ssh-agent. Most users don't have worry about this.

### Usage

    ssh_askpass()

### Details

On Windows and MacOS the package automatically sets the `SSH_ASKPASS` and `GIT_ASKPASS` variables on load (if not already set). If these are set you should be able to run e.g. `sys::exec_wait("ssh-add")` and you should be prompted for a passphrase if your key is protected.
