I'm trying to get setup to use github and really seem blocked. some details of my setup:
I'm on Windows Vista. I have cygwin installed which I need for one of the projects I'm consulting on. I've installed msysgit. I use Putty/Pageant/Plink for ssh access to a set of servers and svn repos I have. I've generated public/private keys using (alternatively) Putty Keygen and ssh-keygen (from the Git Bash console) with the same results. And what I'm seeing when I try to do my first git push up to github is this: ssh: Could not resolve hostname : Name or service not known Pushing to ssh://[email protected]/zaj/blipitt.git fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly tekkub's suggested that I use openssh instead of the putty set of tools, but that seems to conflict w cygwin. During the openssh install it warns you not to proceed if you're already using cygwin, so I havent switched to openssh (yet). So, I dont know if my problem is: a) that I'm using putty instead of openssh b) something in the ssh url I'm using since I get the resolve hostname error c) something about my keys if it is a), then I wonder if anyone has any experience or suggestions about moving to openssh when you're using cygwin? It's hard for me to believe that it's this hard to get this setup on windows, so my guess is that I'm doing something stupid. Does anyone else have experience and answers on getting setup with a similar environment?
