Background
- I've already had private key generated via MobaXTerm and stored in the Git machine's authorized_keys.
- Now I want to enable the auto-authorization from TortoiseGit to the Git server upon performing actions such as Git Push. Therefore I need to let my Tortoise Git know the whereabout of the private key.
- Here comes the problem, that specific private key has to be converted to Putty format. To do that, we use PuttyGen that is installed together with the Tortoise Git.
- Conversations - Import Key (look for the specific Private Key)
- Save private key to a location
- Next, start Pageant which has also been installed by Tortoise Git installer. An icon will appear at the taskbar. Right click - > Add Key. Select the Private Key that you just created in previous step.
