Github "Weak Crypto Standards removed" - IntelliJ 14 workaround
Answered
Howdy folks.
I'm using IntelliJ 14 and the Github integration no longer works.
I understand why (I read the forum post below) but when I tried changing the setting to "native" it made no difference at all, so obviously I am not doing something correctly. I looked at some of the other posts and it started getting rather too in depth for my limited hobbyist free time.
Is there an easier workaround now? Or should I just use the standalone GitHub app instead of the Idea's integrated Version Control (which would be a pity because it's rather nice)
Cheers
Richard

Basically, this post explains what one needs to do to make Native work. https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360000051964/comments/360000069484
So the common approach is to utilize SSH agent. Make sure to start IDEA after you start the agent. It could be a bit tricky on Windows. See e.g. this thread - https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115000114504-Git-SHH-Private-Key-PAssPhrase
There is no easier workaround, except updating to the version with fixes.
Of course, you could use external tools like GitHub desktop, or command-line git, if you want.
Hi Dmitriy
Thanks for the reply. I will give it a go. I haven't used SSH or git directly before so it may be more trouble than it's worth to install+configure+learn, but we'll see.
Cheers
