It happened on my laptop that Git and Cygwin were not compatible with each other and I couldn’t use Git as normal. Let me also mention Cygwin (ignore this if you don’t have Cygwin installed).Basically you need to add the username as part of the host name of the repository, and then add the same hostname and corresponding private key file in the config file ~/.ssh/config. If you need SSH access for multiple git users, I found this post is very helpful.We do want to keep the private key in a safe place, and set the permission to be only readable to yourself: -r- (mode 400).Last thing, to use SSH login, the remote urls of repositories need to be SSH type, instead of HTTPS type. Ssh -T everything works well, then the prompt would say “ You’ve successfully authenticated“. To verify SSH is working for our Git, we can try the following command on Git Bash: Then it should work out-of-the-box without any configuration. For GitHub, we can just follow user setting -> SSH Keys page and copy the public key there.įor the private key, the location and key name doesn’t really matter we can config the Git to use the correct path of private key, see here.

Different servers have different requirements of how to publish your public key. Next we want to put the public key to the remote server. ‘id_rsa’ is the private key, and ‘id_rsa.pub’ is the public key. Type this command on Git Bash:įor now, we can just press Enter to use default key name and empty passphrase. The server can authenticate the client if the client has the corresponding private key.įirst we need to generate key pair. 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.

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. Once it is installed, we can open the Git Bash and give it a try.

#SSH KEYGEN WINDOWS 7 INSTALL#

Now we can just hit the Install button and finish the installation. On the “Configuring extra options” and “Configuring experimental options” page, leave as it or select on your need. Next page, we can just select the first option: “ Use MinTTY“. Again, I would recommend the third option: “ Checkout as-is, commit as-is“, as this is the safest option for our code. On the “Configuration the line ending conversions” page, you can select based on your need. Git Bash feels like a unix-like terminal and it is capable to do most of the work we need.

On the “Adjusting your PATH environment” page, we want to select the first option: “ Use Git from Git Bash only“, unless you really want to use Windows Command Prompt. On the “Select Components” page, we can leave it as is, or you can change upon your own preference.

Run the downloaded file and do the setup.

Overviewįirst download Git for Windows on the official website: /downloads This article briefly reviews all the steps from Git installation to SSH set up.
