    <p>I have successfully installed and configured msysGit Portable on my flash drive, and have used it to pull and push GitHub repos. However, I seem to always have to kludge the SSH support.</p> <p>Specifically, in order for SSH to find my key files, I have to follow <a href="http://chickenandbeans.vox.com/library/post/weird-ssh-agent-error-could-not-open-a-connection-to-your-authentication-agent.html" rel="noreferrer">these instructions</a> to start a second instance of <code>ssh-agent</code> and then <code>ssh-add</code> my key every time I run git-bash.bat.</p> <p>Using the output of <code>ssh -v git@github.com</code> to debug I see that msysGit defaults to my Windows user directory to look for keys. It can't do that; I need it to look in its own directory on the portable drive.</p> <p>How can I force $HOME to be the program's own folder?</p> <h3>Update for broken Vox link</h3> <p>Instructions from <a href="https://www.cs.indiana.edu/Facilities/FAQ/Security/openssh.html" rel="noreferrer">this page</a> are similar to the now-broken link I originally posted. Quoted below. Also here's the <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100323030730/http://chickenandbeans.vox.com/library/post/weird-ssh-agent-error-could-not-open-a-connection-to-your-authentication-agent.html" rel="noreferrer">webarchive of original Vox article</a>.</p> <blockquote> <p>However, if you try this and get:</p> <pre><code>% ssh-add Could not open a connection to your authentication agent. </code></pre> <p>then your session is not running under the ssh-agent. You can get around this by restarting a new shell under the agent by running:</p> <pre><code>exec ssh-agent bash </code></pre> <p>where you can replace bash with the shell of your choice. Once you do this, you should be able to run ssh-add to load your key for that shell. </p> </blockquote>

    1. COAs a byproduct of a solution to this problem, I'm hoping that all the other files that end up scattered through the user directory of whatever PC I'm using will be properly located as well. .bash_history, .gitk, etc. should travel with me, not be left behind every time I switch machines.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
