Now it seems that only username and password can be used for authentication in Git node. I hope you can add the ssh key authentication method to Git node. Thank you very much.

Was qutie a while since I created that but if I remember correctly was not possibly doing it via Node.js. What I think you can do, is to mount your `.ssh` to the user that runs n8n. As it is just a wrapper around “git”, will it then use it and work then fine without authentication. But again was quite a while ago… Sadly have not time right now to check it myself.
