I think I found a bug in git-gui on Windows (Windows 10 64 bit)

git-gui Version 0.21.GITGUI
git Version: 2.44.0.windows.1

To reproduce: (I have not tested it with rsa keys)

- Create an ed25519 key with a passphrase (--> .ssh/id_ed25519). Help->Show
ssh key detects that key perfectly and shows the Public key to copy
- Push something to a repository:
--> it will fail.

 Pushing to xxx.xxx:clemens/test_repo.git
 CreateProcessW failed error:193
 ssh_askpass: posix_spawnp: Unknown error
 git@git.xxx.xxx: Permission denied (publickey).

This might be due to the `SSH_ASKPASS` environment variable pointing to a
Unix-style path, but your SSH not being Unix-path-aware.

Can you verify that your `SSH_ASKPASS` environment variable is set to
`/mingw64/bin/git-askpass.exe`? If so, can you set it to `/c/Program
Files/Git/mingw64/bin/git-askpass.exe` instead and try again?

Oh, make that `c:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/bin/git-askpass.exe`, i.e. a
Windows-style path but with forward slashes as directory separators.

Ciao,
Johannes

 fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

 Please make sure you have the correct access rights
 and the repository exists.

- When using a key without a passphrase, it works perfectly well.
- When using ssh-agent with a key that uses a passphrase, it also works well.

this bug must be in git gui, as it works perfectly fine via git bash.

"git push" spawns a new window, which asks for the passphrase. After entering
the phrase git works as intended.

It seems to me that the git gui cant spawn that window where it asks for the
key.

If that helps:
I'm using Microsofts OpenSSH implementation:
