Hi Owen, Since you got the first part working I'm going to assume the following:
1. You're using the msysgit build from http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ 2. You converted your ssh key created by PuTTY and placed a key called "id_rsa.pub" or "id_dsa.pub" in a directory called ".ssh" in your home folder (probabaly something like c:\Documents & Settings\yourusername) 3. You used the "Git Bash" that came with msysgit to run the heroku client commands. Please correct me if I'm making false assumptions here, but assuming all this is true, you're very close to getting this working. Here's what you need to do: 4. Open the Pageant.exe file in the PuTTY program folder. Pageant is an ssh-agent that'll cache your keys and save you from having to enter your ssh keychain password more than once per (windows) login session. Once you have Pageant open, load your private key by locating the .ppk file and typing in your password. 5. Now you need to tell Git to direct ssh communications through Pageant. You do this by creating a system environment variable called GIT_SSH with the value being the path to "plink.exe" inside your PuTTY program folder. Mine looks like this GIT_SSH="c:\Program Files\PuTTY \plink.exe". You get to the environment variables by right-clicking on "My Computer" and selecting Properties. That ought to do it. If it doesn't work, let me know what kind of errors you're getting, and maybe I can help you figure it out. Best, /M.
