- Config GitHub with Putty/Pageant
- Install Putty from here, run PuTTY.exe and create a new SSH session to “github.com’ and save it
- Run PUTTYGEN.EXE generate a pair of public/priviate key pair, copy the public key content to a text file(like ‘yourpublickey.txt’), save the private key to a text file(like ‘yourprivatekey.ppk’) at the same folder(like: c:\ssh)
- Create a shortcut of Pageant.exe with parameter like this: ‘C:\Putty\PAGEANT.EXE c:\ssh\yourprivatekey.ppk’
- Run the Pageant.exe shortcut, the pageant should be run successfully with a system tray icon
- Install git from here, in my case, with the following configuration choices:
- Select components window: choose all defaults
- Adjusting your PATH environment window: Run Git and included Unix tools from the Windows Command Prompt(which by using all cygwin tools)
- Choosing the SSH executable window: Use (tortoise) Plink and indicate the PLINK.EXE path
- Configuring the line ending conversions window: Checkout as-is, commit as-is
- Sign up a new account at github.com or sign in with your existing account, add ssh-key by using the content of ‘yourpublickey.txt’
- Now open ‘git bash’(Which installed at step E), and you should be able to run all git commands now
