1. Sep 26, 2019  Manually generating your SSH key in Windows. Modified: 26 Sep 2019 21:20 UTC. On Windows, you can create SSH keys in many ways. Using Git Bash, which is the Git command line tool, you can generate SSH key pairs. Git Bash has an SSH client that enables you to connect to and interact with Triton containers on Windows.
2. Nov 05, 2019 Now that we got Git running, it is time to set up SSH keys for Git, so that we don’t need to input password every time. It is more convenient but also safer. The concept is we create a public/private key pair; put the public key to the remote server, and keep the private key on your local machine.

Go to Windows Start menu → All Programs → PuTTY → PuTTYgen. Creating a new key pair for authentication. To create a new key pair, select the type of key to generate from the bottom of the screen (using SSH-2 RSA with 2048 bit key size is good for most people; another good well-known alternative is ECDSA). Create an SSH key. Follow these steps if you don't already have an SSH key for an account. If you do have an SSH key and you want to generate another key, you'll have to use the terminal because you can't use Sourcetree to create a second key. Creating an SSH key looks something like this: From the Sourcetree menu, select Preferences. A: Manually record the SSH key by running: ssh-keyscan -t rsa domain.com /.ssh/knownhosts. Q: How can I have Git remember the passphrase for my key on Windows? A: Run the following command included in Git for Windows to start up the ssh-agent process in Powershell or the Windows Command Prompt.

Okay, I finally got Git to work. Here’s the necessary steps, after having installed msysgit and TortoiseGit.

First, create the local repository.

You’ll get a notification that an empty repository was created. You can now use the repository to track your changes.

But of course, you want to push this stuff to a server, as backup, because other people will collaborate on your project, etc. I’m using Unfuddle so I’ll concentrate on that (check out Git for Windows Developers for info on GitHub).

Create a new Project in Unfuddle. Then, create a new repository and associate the repository to the project. Remember to choose Git as repository type. /product-key-generator-free-download.html.

Now you need to generate a public SSH key to authenticate yourself. If you installed TortoiseGit, you should have Puttygen installed too. Open it and generate a private and a public key.

Save the public key and the private key with the same filename, the only difference is that the private key should have a .ppk file extension. Also, copy the public key in the top part of the Putty Key Generator.
Now, in the Personal Settings of your Unfuddle account, create a new key and paste it accordingly.

Now right-click on your local Git repository and choose ‘Settings’. Go to the ‘Remote’ node and choose ‘Add New’. Give it a name (TortoiseGit will suggest ‘remote’) and paste the URL you can find in Unfuddle. Point TortoiseGit to the correct (private) putty key.
Now you have one more thing to do. Start Pageant (C:Program FilesTortoiseGitbinpageant.exe) if it hasn’t already started, and add the private key you made a few steps earlier.
That’s it! You can now right-click on your local repository and choose to Push to push your changes to Unfuddle.
