You may need to scroll down to the Automation point and check the box for Code (sorry I have only a German MacOS here):įor me only re-starting VS Code didn't fix the problem. This can be configured in the MacOS System Preferences / Security & Privacy windows inside the Privacy tab. Using the GitHub integration in VSCode will only work, as we allow it to access System Events.app which itself is needed to interact with ssh-askpass. Allow VS Code to access Systems Events in MacOS System Preferences Now we'll be able to create the symbolic link: sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/ssh-askpass /usr/X11R6/bin/ssh-askpassĤ. Afterwards the folder /private/var/select/X11 is present again :) Download the XQuartz-2.x.x.dmg, open it and follow the installation steps. This can be fixed by installing the latest version of XQuartz from. Trying to access it I got a cd: no such file or directory: /private/var/select/X11. But I realized that in MacOS Big Sur the file /usr/X11R6 itself is a link to /private/var/select/X11 and that inside /private/var/select the X11 is simply gone. I simply wanted to create a symbolic link from /usr/local/bin/ssh-askpass to /usr/X11R6/bin/ssh-askpass.

Prepare to create symbolic link to ssh-askpass (aka install xQuartz) Or if you already had it installed (like me), then re-install: brew reinstall theseal/ssh-askpass/ssh-askpassįinally start the ssh-askpass service to load the SSH_ASKPASS environment variable via: brew services start ssh-askpassĢ. (Re-)install ssh-askpass & start ssh-pass serviceĪs the docs state:: brew install theseal/ssh-askpass/ssh-askpass These were my steps to finally get VS Code working together with GitHub again:ġ. Some of the options from VonC's answer worked for me, but in a slightly different combination. I had this problem after upgrading to MacOS Big Sur. If the SSH-agent is disabled, it cannot register the passphrase indeed. If you use services like SSH keys, make sure you don't disable SSH Key Agent. The OP Prabesh Bhattarai references " ' ssh_askpass exec(/usr/libexec/openssh/ssh-askpass) no such file or directory' error when I try to push in Git repo using VS Code" If you are using Virt-Manager to connect to a remote hypervisor over SSH, you need to install openssh-askpass as well as x11-ssh-askpass sudo pacman -S openssh-askpass x11-ssh-askpass

update and upgrade home-brew via 'brew update & brew upgrade'.


$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/ssh-askpass /usr/X11R6/bin/ssh-askpass In my case, it's caused by updating of mac OS, makes git lose passphrase of my ssh key.Īfter ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa, and REINSTALL vscode, this problem is fixed. For instance, Microsoft/vscode/issue 32097 illustrates various MacOS workarounds::
