Sep 26, 2019 On Windows, you can create SSH keys in many ways. This document explains how to use two SSH applications, PuTTY and Git Bash. Joyent recommends RSA keys because the node-manta CLI programs work with RSA keys both locally and with the ssh agent. Nov 05, 2019 Now that we got Git running, it is time to set up SSH keys for Git, so that we don’t need to input password every time. It is more convenient but also safer. The concept is we create a public/private key pair; put the public key to the remote server, and keep the private key on your local machine. My Git setup runs fine on Linux, but when I try to set things up under Windows (using Git for Windows and TortoiseGit), I don't know where to put my private SSH key (or, better still, how to tell ssh where it's located). I'm using the standard ssh.exe option during installation of Git for Windows.

Hi there! This post will be pretty straightforward and will cover Windows, Mac, and Linux, so if you don’t know how to do it already, read on.
Windows
Just follow these 5 steps:
- Go to this address, and download Git for Windows, after the download install it with default settings
- Open Git Bash that you just installed (Start->All Programs->Git->Git Bash)
- Type in the following: ssh-keygen -t rsa (when prompted, enter password, key name can stay the same)
- Open file your_home_directory/.ssh/id_rsa.pub with your favorite text editor, and copy contents to your Git repository’s keys field (GitHub, beanstalk, or any other repository provider), under your account.
- Be sure that you don’t copy any whitespace while copying public key’s content (id_rsa.pub)
Note: your_home_directory is either C:Usersyour_username (on Windows Vista / 7 / 8 / 10), or C:Documents and Settingsyour_username (on Windows XP)
Mac
Follow these 5 steps:
- Start the terminal
- Navigate to your home directory by typing: cd ~/
- Execute the following command: ssh-keygen -t rsa (when prompted, enter password, key name can stay the same)
- Open the file you’ve just created ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub with your favorite text editor, and copy contents to your Git repository’s keys field (GitHub, beanstalk, or any other repository provider), under your account.
- Be sure that you don’t copy any whitespace while copying public key’s content (id_rsa.pub)
Linux (Ubuntu)
Follow these 5 steps:
- Open console
- cd ~
- ssh-keygen -t rsa (when prompted, enter password, key name can stay the same)
- open file /home/your_username/.ssh/id_rsa.pub with your favorite text editor, and copy contents to your Git repository’s keys field (GitHub, beanstalk, or any other repository provider), under your account.
- Be sure that you don’t copy any whitespace while copying public key’s content (id_rsa.pub)

When you create private/public SSH keys on your machine (that’s what you did in the above steps), it’s not enough. You need to give your public key to the repository in order to pair the Git server with your local machine (that’d be steps 4. and 5. above).
Most of the popular repositories will give you web interface access to the application, and here’s how it looks like on Github:
After this step, you’re ready to start using Git.
Conclusion
I hope this wasn’t too complicated to follow, and also I hope it was helpful to someone!
