  1. Get "PuTTY Link" and "Pageant" (an SSH key agent) from the PuTTY download page Show archive.org snapshot .

  2. Run pageant.exe, find its icon inside your system tray and add your SSH key.

  3. Open up a cmd and put the full path to PuTTY's plink.exe into the GIT_SSH environment variable, e.g.:

    set GIT_SSH=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.
