Prerequisites:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Cygwin installed<\/li>\n
- Account on Github.com<\/li>\n
- Git installed (https:\/\/git-scm.com\/downloads)<\/li>\n
- Git GUI (https:\/\/git-scm.com\/downloads\/guis). I recommend SourceTree (https:\/\/www.sourcetreeapp.com\/).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Method:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Open a Cygwin Terminal, and execute the following commands in order presented…<\/li>\n
which ssh<\/code>\n- \n
- Note: Verify that you have SSH installed for Cygwin. If not, go to http:\/\/cygwin.com, download the installer, run it and install SSH.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
- I HIGHLY recommend you use Pageant. Place in your ~\/.bashrc file\u00c2\u00a0
eval $(\/usr\/local\/bin\/ssh-pageant -ra $TEMP\/.ssh-pageant).<\/code>, See\u00c2\u00a0https:\/\/github.com\/cuviper\/ssh-pageant<\/a>.\n- \n
- If you don’t plan on using Pageant,\u00c2\u00a0eval `ssh-agent -s`;\u00c2\u00a0
ssh-add -L<\/code><\/li>\n- Note: look at the output to see if there are any keys added. There may or may not, it doesn’t matter because you’re going to generate and add a new key here.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
cd ~\/.ssh<\/code>\n- \n
- Note: If you don’t have the directory, execute
cd<\/code>, thenmkdir .ssh<\/code> to create one, thencd .ssh<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n- \u00c2\u00a0ssh-keygen -t rsa<\/li>\n
- On the prompts, you can just return for each thing prompted for.<\/li>\n
ls<\/code>\n- \n
- Note: Verify you have\u00c2\u00a0id_rsa, id_rsa.pub (or the file name you entered above) generated.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
cat id_rsa.pub # (or the file you entered above)<\/code>\n- \n
- Verify the key is not empty.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
ssh-add<\/code>\n- \n
- Note: You should see output from ssh-add indicating it added the keys in the ~\/.ssh directory. If not, it may have been already added.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
ssh-add -L<\/code>\n- \n
- Note: Verify you have the key you just created added.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
- In an editor like Notepad, open the .PUB file and copy the text into the clipboard.<\/li>\n
- In a browser, log into github.com (or create an account).<\/li>\n
- In Github.com, to the the upper-right corner, and click on the icon for the user, and then settings in the pulldown.\n
- \n
- Add a key.\u00c2\u00a0See\u00c2\u00a0https:\/\/help.github.com\/articles\/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account\/ for more info.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
- Back in the Cygwin Terminal started in step 1 …<\/li>\n
ssh -v git@github.com<\/code>\n- \n
- When it prompts for “do you want to continue?”, enter yes.<\/li>\n
- The output should look like this:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n
<\/p>\n

- git clone git@github.com:heroku\/ruby-rails-sample.git\n

- Note: This verifies that command-line Git works. If it doesn’t then you should probably use ssh-pageant because git is not using the right agent.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
- Note: If you use SourceTree (or other Git clients), verify they work too. This is because they use a damn separate authentication tool: pageant.exe<\/a>. You can tell if you see in the lower-right corner the Pageant server icon.<\/li>\n
- Find the Pageant server, and open it<\/li>\n

<\/li>\n- In SourceTree, go to menu item “Tools | Create or Import SSH Keys”.<\/li>\n
- In the dialog box, click on “Load” button, and find the file id_rsa (or the file name you entered above). You will have to type it in explicitly, or remove the stupid filter for the open file dialog box. Save the key, both public and private (generates a PPK file that’s compatible with Pageant).<\/li>\n
- In Pageant, “Add Key”, using the .PPK generated above by SourceTree utility.<\/li>\n
- Execute plink.exe in the Atlassian\/SourceTree installation directory from Cygwin Terminal or Cmd.<\/li>\n
- plink git@github.com<\/li>\n
- In SourceTree, In SourceTree, clone the above Ruby sample. If it hangs, use plink.exe from the Cygwin Terminal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n

Secure\u00c2\u00a0Shell (SSH) is a network protocol used ubiquitously, e.g., github.com, bitbucket.com, etc. If you use Git or Hg, it’s nice to set up SSH because you can avoid having to re-enter your user id and password every time you clone the repository.
