How to use Git on Windows with PuTTY
-
Get "PuTTY Link" and "Pageant" (an SSH key agent) from the PuTTY download page.
-
Run
pageant.exe
, find its icon inside your system tray and add your SSH key. -
Open up a
cmd
and put the full path to PuTTY'splink.exe
into theGIT_SSH
environment variable, e.g.:Copyset 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.
Also, you may want to add the environment variable under the Windows system properties so it survives a reboot.
