How to use git pull from the command line

Question

We were using a build script to automate our publishing process and it was working with SVN but now we are using Git and need to do some command line operations to pull from our remote repository   I was able to follow the guide here and using the Git bash it works great  However  I need to perform these tasks from the Windows command line so that they can be executed by the script   git pull origin master works in the Git bash   cd  c  program files  x86  git bin git --git-dir path to  git pull origin master    fails with an error     Permission denied  publickey     fatal  The remote end hung up unexpectedly   Obviously my SSH key is not being used properly or something  I m so new to this that I really have no clue what to do

Try setting the HOME environment variable in Windows to your home folder (c:\users\username).

( you can confirm that this is the problem by doing echo $HOME in git bash and echo %HOME% in cmd - latter might not be available )

One more option is to add the path of the privatekey file like this in terminal   ssh-add   path to the privatekeyfile   and then execute the pull command

Open up your git bash and type  echo  HOME   This shall be the same folder as you get when you open your command window  cmd  and type  echo  USERPROFILE    And  ndash  nbsp of course nbsp  ndash  the  ssh folder shall be present on THAT directory
