Running .cmd for SSH agent and putty integration

[nephewtom]

Hi.
I am trying to integrate what is described here:
https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder/wiki/Integrate-SSH-Agent-or-PuTTY-Agent

But when I do that (uncommenting the lines in current config/user-profile.cmd), when cmder starts, it misses colors and it is like it goes back to traditional CMD prompt.
Same as executing manually the first .cmd like this:

I expected it would source the .cmd script without breaking the cmder prompt, etc...
Is this supposed to go back to CMD? Is this the way it is supposed to run?
How can I run those without changing it?

Regards.

Shouldn´t call execute the .cmd file seamlessly?

I just uncommented:

:: uncomment this next two lines to use pageant as the ssh authentication agent
SET SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/.ssh-pageant-auth-sock
call "%GIT_INSTALL_ROOT%/cmd/start-ssh-pageant.cmd"

and got the below in my next session:

Starting ssh-pageant...
SSH_AUTH_SOCK='/tmp/.ssh-pageant-auth-sock'
SSH_PAGEANT_PID=18156

C:\Users\user\cmderdev(master -> origin)$

All is working as expected.

@tomasorti maybe your user-profile is from an older version of Cmder. The commands I uncommented ore different than yours.

[nephewtom]

This is the content of current user_profile.cmd on cmder version 1.3.8 is:

:: use this file to run your own startup commands
:: use in front of the command to prevent printing the command

:: uncomment this to have the ssh agent load when cmder starts
:: call "%GIT_INSTALL_ROOT%/cmd/start-ssh-agent.cmd"

:: uncomment the next two lines to use pageant as the ssh authentication agent
:: SET SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/.ssh-pageant-auth-sock
:: call "%GIT_INSTALL_ROOT%/cmd/start-ssh-pageant.cmd"

:: you can add your plugins to the cmder path like so
:: set "PATH=%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\whatever;%PATH%"

:: arguments in this batch are passed from init.bat, you can quickly parse them like so:
:: more useage can be seen by typing "cexec /?"

:: %ccall% "/customOption" "command/program"

@echo off

The command that gets executed first is the ssh-agent cmd file:
call "%GIT_INSTALL_ROOT%/cmd/start-ssh-agent.cmd"
That is the one that makes the colors gone and shows the traditional CMD prompt.

@tomasorti Have a look at #1807 and #1781. From what I saw #1781 was best.

@tomasorti - Just a little more info.

%GIT_INSTALL_ROOT%/cmd/start-ssh-agent.cmd is provided by the Git for Windows Package that Cmder uses. It is not maintained by us and thus can't be fixed by us.
