git under windows ssh

Question

git

How to clone remote repository from gitbash with ssh key? More precisely, how to substitute the .ppk key in the git clone ssh://blabla.com/project.git command?

Answer 1

Install (if not already installed) msysgit, select putty (plink) as the ssh client for it, select the ppk key to be connected in the repository settings, check the box to load automatically, and start using it. Now, when a connection is established, the pageant authentication client will be loaded, which will pick up this key. I would have muddied a guide with screenshots, but now I am not at home.
