Running Git with Github

Running Git with Github on Mac seems very easy, with the help from XCode.   However running such configuration on Windows lacks of proper instruction.

The steps are list as following:

  1. Download Git for Windows: http://git-scm.com/download/win
  2. Generate SSH Key, PuTTYgen is a great Windows tool: link
    For mac user we can just use: ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email@youremail.com"
  3. Paste your public key here: https://github.com/settings/ssh
  4. Test connection using: ssh -T git@github.com
