On Github's instructions for generating a new key it says:
3. At the prompt, type a secure passphrase. For more information, see Working with SSH key passphrases.

Problem is that when I tried to set up an ssh key with an actual passphrase it did not work well with repo-quest, I kept getting these prompts:

https://github.com/cognitive-engineering-lab/rqst-async
Enter passphrase for key '/home/scp5761/.ssh/id_ed25519':
https://github.com/cognitive-engineering-lab/rqst-async
Enter passphrase for key '/home/scp5761/.ssh/id_ed25519':
Enter passphrase for key '/home/scp5761/.ssh/id_ed25519':
Enter passphrase for key '/home/scp5761/.ssh/id_ed25519':

and when I entered my passphrase the program was able to:

  1. Create a new repo quest instance on my account and locally
  2. Open an existing instance by opening the directory with the local repo

However it could not create a new issue even after I typed in my passphrase.

Removing this key and then generating a new one without a passphrase seemed to fix the issue but we should be able to support this given that Github itself recommends this.

Just a few quick questions about this error.

You have built locally and this is output from your terminal correct?
I am trying to reproduce the error but cannot get a key with a passcode to work at all, what OS are you on?

thanks

I'm on openSUSE Tumbleweed (Kalpa) Linux and I did build it locally. This is the exact terminal output. seems this program does not work well with passcoded keys yet but its in beta though so some kinks are to be expected
