Answer 1

None of the above answers worked for me.

I created this batch file to solve the problem.

CALL "C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\start-ssh-agent.cmd"
SETX SSH_AUTH_SOCK "%SSH_AUTH_SOCK%"
SETX SSH_AGENT_PID "%SSH_AGENT_PID%"

Run this once, and enter your passphrase.

Then you can use tortoisegit with openssh without having to enter your passphrase for every operation.
