I think the truth is that msysgit can be configured in different ways while being set up. As I extensively use putty for conrolling my Linux machines, I did not explore the other means msysgit can use to talk with the servers. You might find it useful to try another approach to msysgit+plink: putty comes with a tool called "pageant" which is a SSH agent, that is, you supply it with one or more private SSH keys, it asks for passphrases for them and caches these passphrases. So I use it like this: after logging in, I start a script which spawns pageant with my ppk key, enter the password and then pageant just sits in the tray. Whenever I talk to a sevrer, plink picks the (decrypted) key from pageant and logs to the server using it. This is hence convenient as I only have to type my passphrase once per (windows) session. I find it more usable than creating a specialized session in putty with a key attached. Also I think it worth noting that TortoiseGit is a project completely separated from msysgit; instead, msysgit folks are working on their own shell-integrated extension called Git Cheetah (it also integrates to Nautilus on GNOME desktop). Its development appeared to be stagnated for some time, but the latest preview bundle of msysgit includes its working version, so you could try it out -- may be it integrates more nicely with msysgit. In any case, both msysgit and tortoisegit communities have their own mailing lists -- if you have any issues with these pieces of software, it's probably more appropriate to direct such kind of questions there. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

That might work. Creating a putty session with for the git user on the server, saving the user name and adding the ppk to it solved the problem. It looks like TortoiseGit uses the id_rsa key, where as msysGit doesn't, as it probably expects a putty session with a username and saved .ppk key to already exist for use by plink. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

When I try you suggestion, a message suggesting it is using plink to connect, yet the ssh command works fine. When I try to generate a key it also complains that the id_rsa file already exists. It looks like although it was through Git I set up the ssh key, it is expecting the file to be converted for use with plink before it works. I think I will create a putty connection for the username/server and get the key converted and stored in it. That might work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group. To post to this group, send email to git-us...@googlegroups.com.

[...] All output seems OK to me so I don't really know what to do next as I use putty suite myself. One thing which could probably shed some light on your issue is to enable "git tracing" before trying the offending command; try something like this: C:\repo> set GIT_TRACE=1 C:\repo> git remote show origin And see what it prints. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

I am not using the putty/plink system with msysgit. output from cat /var/log/auth.log | grep git == Mar 22 12:02:09 pydev01 sshd[7075]: Accepted publickey for frank from 192.168.1.5 port 1207 ssh2 Mar 22 12:02:09 pydev01 sshd[7077]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user frank by (uid=0) I can do all the operations with Tortoise. Somehow Tortoise seems able to work with the key whereas msysgit doesn't. Connecting via ssh (installed msysgit) works fine and uses the key without. From what I understand Tortoise depends on msysgit so I can suppose that Tortoise is not using its own additional binaries to connect.

I hope I have added enough to help. The path to the Git also binaries come before the paths to the Tortoise binaries.

I don't know how to increase the logging level on the client, but I want to give some hints. First, if you're trying to use the SSH transport, the whole thing works like this: 1) The client part logs in to the remote machine using SSH and spawns the git-receive-pack binary on the remote. 2) The git-send-pack on the client side is then spawned and these two binaries communicate over the SSH link. Hence, several problems may arise in this scenario: 1) You fail to authenticate properly -- check /var/log/auth.log (or whatever it is on your server side). Also try to log in to the remote side using plain SSH client. 2) Authentication goes OK but git-receive-pack fails to start (not on the PATH of your remote account for instance). You can check it by trying to run it while being logged in as a regular user via SSH. 3) The steps above work OK but the path to the repositiry you specified does not exist or is unreadable or something like this. Double check this. Second, if you're trying to use msysgit from the Windows box, you may have additional troubles with authentication. As you provided exactly zero amount of information about your setup, I won't be guessing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
