Hi there, Hope you’re all great. Having made and working a product like CircleCI should make you feel awesome! My question: we use a SSH tunnel like this ssh -t \< user \>@\< ip \> -p \< a-port \> ssh \< host \> -p\< other-port \> How can we set up a SSH deploy with a custom deploy script with such a SSH connection? Is that possible? Thanks, ed ---

Has anyone figured this out? I’m trying to do something similar, SSH in to another server a execute a git pull but I have endless issues with my keys. I’ve tried using the ssh config, using the straight key files, everything and it always asks for my password. ---
