- Research direction
- The issue asks whether Pageant can be used for SSH authentication. Investigate shipit's SSH handling code, likely in the deploy module or SSH related files. Check for any existing support for custom SSH agents or configurable SSH commands. The maintainers did not respond, so the feasibility is unknown. Look into shipit's usage of node ssh or similar libraries to see if Pageant can be integrated.
