Description

what do I miss?

I use vscode 1.42.1 frontend on windows
ssh remote version is 0.49
ssh client is OpenSSH_7.7p1, OpenSSL 1.0.2o (part of git-bash: c:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\ssh.exe)
server is ubuntu 18.04
git is located on a 3rd machine, access method is ssh/key. Access is ok from windows and the intermediate linux as well

inside vscode git push/pull gives the unauthorized error, unless I install my private key also on the ssh target machine.
outside vscode, same ssh client on the same windows machine: git push/pull works as expected, so looks like agent forwarding works otherwise
