How can I test my ssh-keys locally without a server

I want to test my keys in ~/.ssh. I do not have sshd running (Git-Bash@Windows does not provide it). I'd like to test if I still remember the passphrase for my keys.

I found these answers [1], [2], but they do not work for me.

Is there an easy way to verify my ssh keys without an ssh server?

windows ssh local

Using SSHNet and a bunch of code you can try to open your private key and check if provided password is correct. 

PrivateKeyFile key = new PrivateKeyFile(keypath, passphrase);

Above code fails if passphrase is wrong.
