Use custom ssh key cannot clone

[ghost]

#690
After solve the fetch/pull error, I found that I still can not clone from remote.

os.environ['GIT_SSH_COMMAND'] = 'sudo ssh -v -i /root/key'
with Git().custom_environment(GIT_SSH_COMMAND=os.environ['GIT_SSH_COMMAND']):
	repo = Repo.clone_from('[email protected]:somebody/someproject','test')

output:

I would think creating a temporary instance of the Git command helper does not affect the clone_from call at all.

Instead you probably want to pass the environment directly when cloning as described in the docs.

I am closing this one assuming that will work for you. But please feel free to comment if that's not the case and it might be reopened.
