The Problem

I recently switched back to using gnome 3 when I did a fresh install of Fedora 25 – Which, I’ve been super happy with!. Last night I started a new project on github and did my first code push. Suddenly a GUI password prompt pops up!

What is this?? Bro, you’re killing my commandline flow!

$ env |grep --color SSH
SSH_ASKPASS=/usr/libexec/openssh/gnome-ssh-askpass

The solution

$ unset SSH_ASKPASS

I would suggest adding that to your .bashrc if you’d like to make the fix more permanent
