OK, so you have a clean slate and you want to do the OpenSSH approach in a normal Windows command line (cmd.exe). During the Git installer, I assume you chose "Run Git and included Unix tools from the Windows Command Prompt". This is the third and last option with the scary red warning below. *Did you choose this option? *If you did not choose this option, you have to use Git Bash instead of normal command-line below. To make things a bit less complex, let's make sure SSH works. Try the following: - Start Command line (Start -> Run -> 'cmd') - ssh -T username@your-git-server What does the command above output? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
