I haven't used PuTTY to set up an ssh keypair before. But it looks like it might store/display the key in a format that's different than the ssh-keygen.
Did you cut and paste something that looks similar to the Linux Step 3 id_rsa.pub file on GitHub's Providing your SSH Key guide<http://github.com/guides/providing-your-ssh-key>? If not, then you'll need to take a look at Sec 8.2.10 in the Putty docs http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.60/htmldoc/Chapter8.html#pubkey-puttygen<http://the.earth.li/%7Esgtatham/putty/0.60/htmldoc/Chapter8.html#pubkey-puttygen> This will tell you how to get PuTTY to display the key in the authorized_keys format that GitHub is probably expecting. Also, "check out" and "check in" mean different things in Git than you're expecting. What you really want are "git pull" to get changes from remote repositories (updates from the official Insoshi public repository) and "git push" to move updates to your forked repository. Take a look at our Git Guides <http://docs.insoshi.com/Git-Guides> to get started. 2008/5/11 B.
