Unable to push (ssh keys problem)

[ymakux]

"Could not create directory '/c/Users/\336\360\340/.ssh'.
Failed to add the host to the list of known hosts (/c/Users/\336\360\340/.ssh/known_hosts).
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote"

I'm getting this error when I try to push to remote from UI or command line. As I understand the program unable to find the ssh keys. I've read some SO topics, all they advised to set correctly Windows "HOME" variable. I set to C:\Users\Юра (confirmed by echo $HOME). It doesn't help. Any other suggestions?

UPD: Windows 7, 32bit, Git for win 2.5.2

The problem was that I had non-latin characters in the user profile path. I think it's a bug

I had the same problem. Corrected by adding variable HOME. This path must not contain Latin characters.

This is most likely the same problem as #331

Let's call it a work-around, okay? 😃

Just had the same problem on windows 8.1 even with pure acsii in %USERPROFILE%,
setting %HOME% didn't help either. So I hat to revert to 2.5.0.

Would be nice when this is fixed to find some documentaion about, where to have the .ssh keys.
I more or less used trial and error fiddling with %HOME%,%HOMEDRIVE%,%HOMEPATH%

So I hat to revert to 2.5.0.

So you're saying 2.5.0 works? What about 2.5.1 and 2.5.2(1)?

[dscho]

Sorry, not #331 but #336. But the resolution is similar in both cases.

Everybody who has this problem should download msys-2.0.dll from https://github.com/dscho/msys2-runtime/releases/tag/home-non-ascii, replace the local file of the same name (it is in Git\usr\bin) and test.

Thanks @dscho , I'll try
