Git: setup msysGit install with pageant/plink from putty

November 19th, 2009 by jeremychone
  1. Install msysgit
  2. Install Putty
  3. Setup Pageant
  4. Set GIT_SSH=C:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY\plink.exe in the windows environment
  5. Connect to the git server USING Putty (to accept the fingerprint of the server). This is only needed once.
  6. Then, you can use Git bash to connect to the ssh server

    Thank you very much. It works just as expected and it’s a straight forward solution on using git bash with pagent.
