Authentication error when pushing to remote Git repo with TortoiseGit


When I try an push to my remote repo (Unfuddle) using TortoiseGit, my favourite tool, I get the following error. I then open GitGUI and am able to push with no problem. I have gathered through some googling that pageant needs to be running for some PuTTY variants, and it is running. Where do I look next?

No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey)


Solution

  • Resetting the default PuTTY configuration solved the issue here. To do so, delete the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions\Default%20Settings key with regedit.
