How to solve host key verification failed gitlab runner running on windows as service

To run gitlab runner on Windows as a service to use gitlab CI, the first important thing is to copy all your current user environment to your system user's environment to make all binaries available to call.

When need git to access repositories by ssh, you should make your id_rsa.pub available on your system user's .ssh directory.

I googled through all the websites but without any clue to solve this problem, but use ProcessMonitor to get the systemprofile 's path

C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile

systemprofile is the SYSTEM user's %userprofile%, so place all files in your .ssh directory into

C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\.ssh

Then try to git clone all other commnands, enjoy it !
