SSH key authentication with NetBeans

Once you have generated the private/public key pair and done server/client side configurations there's little more to be done to be able to use it with NetBeans.

Edit ~/.subversion/config file to include.

ssh = $SVN_SSH ssh -l
(This is disabled by default)

Then add the key to the agent.

$ ssh-add

You are all good now if you have no passphrase set in which case you might have to authenticate with the passphrase.
