Hi everyone,

I'm having a problem very similar to the problem described at
http://groups.google.com/group/github/browse_thread/thread/d172dc17c1f65344/dd8758a76eb8e132?lnk=gst&q=cygwin+ssh#dd8758a76eb8e132
but the solution in that thread isn't working for me.

I'm using Cygwin, with the version of git that came with it, on
Windows XP. The git version number is 1.6.1.

Following the instructions on github, I'm doing the following:

  mkdir <project>
  cd <project>
  git init
  touch README
  git add README
  git commit -m 'first commit'
  git remote add origin [email protected]:name/<project>.git
  git push origin master

and get this response:
$ git push origin master
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

This is ordinarily an ssh problem. However, I am able to ssh to github
successfully:

$ ssh [email protected]
PTY allocation request failed on channel 0
Hi wwhyte! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not
provide shell
access.
Connection to github.com closed.

(I could provide the output of ssh -v, but it essentially leaves us in
the same place).

I've searched, and I haven't found any discussion online of what to do
if ssh works but git doesn't.

My only idea is that this might be case-sensitivity. My username on
this laptop is WWhyte, but my github username is wwhyte. Might this be
the problem?

All help appreciated.
