- Install msysGit http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/
- Create a SSH key using Bash (id_rsa and id_rsa.pub)
- Install TortoiseSVN
- Use plink
- Use puttyGEN, which comes with TortoiseGit, to create a Putty private key from id_rsa like so:
puttyGen –>
Conversions –>
Import Key –>
Open %userprofile%\.ssh\id_rsa –>
Save Private Key as private.ppk (or whatever you want) - Register your Public Key (id_rsa.pub) with GitHub i.e. Copy/paste the text inside the file into your Github account SSH Key (https://github.com/account –> SSH Public Keys)
- Set your details from the Git Bash command line. The token is available from your Github Account Settings.
git config –global user.name “Your Name”
git config –global user.email “your@email.com”
git config –global github.user your-github-name
git config –global github.token your-github-token
- Get the Repository’s Read + Write SSH URL
- Clone the repository to a folder using TortoiseGit
- Load the putty key %userprofile%\.ssh\private.ppk if that is where you saved it.

This is a rough summary of what to do, and more of a reminder to my future self. If you have any suggestions, let me know.
