Can't push virtual branch: mismatched host key

[kemitix]

I get the follow error logged when I try to push a virtual branch:

Git authentication is set to auto-detect. Have tried specifying the key directly, with no difference.

Git from the CLI works, even with StrictHostKeyChecking yes configured in my ~/.ssh/config file.

@mtsgrd Are there any plan to fix this issue 🙏

I'm running into the same error. I'm trying to push branches to gitlab.com; the host key seems to be in ~/.ssh/known_hosts, and I've even tried re-adding it.

In the Setting I've changed Git Authentication to "Use Git executable". I don't know what the downsides are for this, but it works.

Yes, if you're running into this it's best to use Git Executable from the auth settings, which is now the default.

Going to close this for now as that's currently the only way to get the strict host key checking to work reliably. Let me know here if that still doesn't work for you!
