PhillipHuynh:

Add the following line to ~/.bashrc (windows path "C:\cygwin\home\<USER>\.bashrc"):
PATH=$PATH:~/bin

Then run
source ~/.bashrc

Also, you might have to modify the following file:
~/.gem/ruby/gems/net-ssh-4.1.0/lib/net/ssh/authentication/pageant.rb
(windows path "C:\cygwin\home\<USER>\.gem\ruby\gems\net-ssh-4.1.0\lib\net\ssh\authentication\pageant.rb")

Replace all 'user32', 'kernel32' og 'advapi32' with 'user32.dll', 'kernel32.dll' og 'advapi32.dll' (line 46, 47, 48, 53 and 59).
