Referencing packages from private repositories by SSH

Unity Package Manager supports referencing packages from private repositories by SSH, see an example: "com.company.app": "ssh://[email protected]/Company/app.git#X.Y.Z". But easy to stumble if doing it the first time because Unity Package Manager requires the only SSH key without a passphrase. A quick guide to starting with:

  • Start Git Bash and generate SSH key without a passphrase if you don't have one already. (Git SSH Guide)
  • Add SSH key to an ssh-agent. Reboot PC.
  • Create some temporary directory on a PC and go there by executing command cd C:\Repositories\SSHTestRepository. Clone repository that going to be referenced as a package with git clone [email protected]/Company/app.git, agree with adding to a hosts list.
  • Done! Feel free to delete previously cloned repository.
