Setup SSH key to connect to Github with Putty

Generate SSH key

Open git bash and execute

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"

This procedure generates two files: .ssh/id_rsa and .ssh/id_rsa.pub. Add public key to Github.

Setup SSH agent

Use puttygen to convert the private key (id_rsa) to ppk (id_rsa.ppk). Save this new private key, and execute:

pageant.exe .\.ssh\id_rsa.ppk
