Git Extensions Howto

1. Download

http://code.google.com/p/gitextensions/

2. Configs

Change it the way you like it. Johannes uses KDiff3 and putty. Please be sure to "Checkout as-is, commit as-is"!

3. Acess Github

You can use Putty to generate a public/private SSH key, then add that key to github.

• Run GitExtensions\PuTTY\puttygen.exe
• Click Generate
• Click Save public key (as a text file)
• Click Save private key (as a ppk file)
• Run GitExtensions\PuTTY\pageant.exe C:\path\to\ppk-file.ppk
• Log into github
• Go into Account settings
• Paste your public key into the SSH keys form
• In Git Extensions, click Clone repository
• Use the SSH repository link as the Repository to clone (git@github.com:JohannesHoppe/SolarTournament.git)
• Click Load SSH key
• Browse to and load the ppk file
• Click Clone
• You will be promted to trust bitbucket and save the choise to the cache. I got the message "conq: invalid command syntax". Just try it again and it works the second time.
