git_cred_ssh_custom_new

Version:

Create an ssh key credential with a custom signing function.

This lets you use your own function to sign the challenge.

This function and its credential type is provided for completeness and wraps libssh2_userauth_publickey(), which is undocumented.

The supplied credential parameter will be internally duplicated.
