That's good you mentioned this (again, note that the more information you tell the better for everyone). The extension ".ppk" suggests this is the key generated by PuTTY's key generation tool (puttygen.exe) *in its own container format,* not compatible with the OpenSSH client distributed as part of Git for Windows. A corollary to this is that there's no sense in putting those keys into %HOME%/.ssh -- the OpenSSH client can't make use of them anyway. That "mykey_130903.pub" had most probably been extracted from the .ppk key (using that same puttygen.exe tool) and given to you so you could make your private key trusted on the remote system (that thing is beyond the scope of our present discussion though). Can you verify your .ppk key is generated by PuTTY? Open it in a text editor and look at the first line -- does it read something like PuTTY-User-Key-File-2: ssh-rsa or -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- Which one? The first means it's a PuTTY-compatible form, the second means it's an OpenSSH-compatible form. If the key would turn out to be of the *second* form, just copy it under %HOME%\.ssh and name it "id_rsa" -- possibly replacing whatever key is already there under that name. Now remove all the Host-entry hacks you might have in your %HOME%\.ssh\config file. If, instead, the key turn out to be PuTTY's, you have two options: * Get PuTTY and convert your .ppk key file into an OpenSSH-compatible format using puttygen.exe. You run puttygen, click the Load button in its interface, enter the key's passphrase to decrypt the key then engage the "Conversions -> Export OpenSSH key" main menu entry; when asked for a file to save, navigate to your %HOME%\.ssh folder and choose "id_rsa" as the name of the file. * Work with PuTTY as I described in my previous mail and just use this .ppk key file. To do this, you first set up Git to use PuTTY's plink.exe as its SSH client (via setting the GIT_SSH environment variable), then start pageant.exe (the key agent), activate the context menu on its tray icon, choose the "Add key" entry then select your .ppk key in the dialog, and enter the key's passphrase when asked. > Sorry, I forgot to write that I'm using TortoiseGIT. TortoiseGit relies on calling stock Git binary and so respects the GIT_SSH setup already explained. You can also just use plain Git along with this front-end. > ssh -T -vvv user@host git --version > sh.exe": c:xampphtdocsworkspace_aptanarepositorisbmykey_130911.ppk: > command not found Something awry with the formatting. And I have no idea why the key file is mentioned -- as I've say, if .ppk is not just a brain-dead extension and key is PuTTY's, stock SSH client won't work with it. > Here is first error, my key, that I use ist mykey_130903.ppk not > mykey_130911.ppk That's not the problem, I reckon. > eval $(ssh-agent -s) > > Agent pid 9528 > > ssh-add mykey_130903.ppk That's strange! It *might* turn out that just the person who handed you this key is idiot, and the key is in OpenSSH format indeed. Anyway, I gave you enought information to deal with either case. > after this I make pull "git pull" and get following message: > fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git As you should have guessed by yourself, this error has nothing to do with keys and SSH: it simply tells you you're currently not in a directly which Git is able to identify as the work tree of a Git repository.
