Git Extensions Putty Key Generator
- Set GITSSH=D: PuTTY plink.exe You can then use Git like you would on any sane operating system. Just go ahead and git clone, git pull, etc. Also, you may want to add the environment variable under the Windows system properties so it survives a reboot.
- PuTTYgen is an key generator tool for creating SSH keys for PuTTY. It is analogous to the ssh-keygen tool used in some other SSH implementations. The basic function is to create public and private key pairs. PuTTY stores keys in its own format in.ppk files. However, the tool can also convert keys to and from other formats.
When we installed Git Extensions, we selected 'PuTTY' as SSH client and it resulted with helpful PuTTY utilities was installed. You may find them in C: Program Files (x86) GitExtensions PuTTY folder (or C: Program Files GitExtensions PuTTY on 32bit Windows).

Many Git servers authenticate using SSH public keys. Corel draw x3 key generator free download. In order to provide a public key, each user in your system must generate one if they don’t already have one. This process is similar across all operating systems. First, you should check to make sure you don’t already have a key. The first thing is to check that Git Extensions is properly configured to use PuTTY, as well as all paths, are given correctly. In the Remotes Tab just choose Generate or import key to start the key generator.

Aug 6, 2015 Would like to have the 'Load SSH Key' button for the OpenSSH mode, not only for plink mode.
I believe the process of setting up the SSH keys could be made much more friendly with that.Why not plink: once you set up OpenSSH, you get a stable auth experience across all the possible git tools besides GitExtensions, like command line, bash, IntelliJ IDEA, SourceTree, etc. As far as I understand, won't work this way with plink.
How it might work.
The button opens a dialog, which has three sections.- Don't have a key? Generate new. Opens
puttygen.exe
, tells that you should do 'Conversions OpenSSH key' in it to save in suitable format. (without this, you'd have to close Clone to run it from Tools) - Set key for all servers. Browses for the key file, writes it into
%USERPROFILE%.sshid_rsa
. - Set key for this server (server name from 'Repository to clone:' here). Browses for the file, adds a record to the
%USERPROFILE%.sshconfig
file for this server, pointing to the browsed file. - Has some hints on how to assign this key to your git server.
If labels text is decent enough, then this would not only a GUI configuration path entirely within GitExtensions, but also intuitive enough to be done without any additional instructions.
