Why can I not clone repository from Github using Cygwin SSH on Windows 7?
I want to clone my own repository from Github using Git+Cygwin+Ssh.
How to do it - I create key, I publish public key on github.com, I do ssh-add?
What I am doing wrong?

Solution
As you figured out you should use ssh keys. Follow those step to generate and use the keys under GitHub.
Here is how to set it up:
Generate a new ssh key (or skip this step if you already have a key as you mentioned )
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your@email"Once you have your key set in
home/.sshdirectory (orUsers/<your user>.sshunder windows), open it and copy the content to the relevant section (ssh keys) under your central repository.
How to set up ssh key under your GitHub account?
- Login to GitHub account
- Click on the rancher on the top right (
Settings)
- Click on the
SSH keys and GPG Keys
- Click on the
New SSH key
- Paste your key and save
Note
After the first set up open terminal and run a git fetch so the key will be tested and added to your known hosts file.
