If using SourceTree you will probably get errors when trying to clone git errors.
If you get an error like this:
git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false fetch origin
The server's host key is not cached in the registry. You
have no guarantee that the server is the computer you
think it is.
The server's rsa2 key fingerprint is:
ssh-rsa 2048 aa:db:aa:00:ba:c0:b0:c0:d0:e0:f0:a0:a2:00:13:eb
If you trust this host, enter "y" to add the key to
PuTTY's cache and carry on connecting.
If you want to carry on connecting just once, without
adding the key to the cache, enter "n".
If you do not trust this host, press Return to abandon the
connection.
Find where SourceTree is installed (mine is currently C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\SourceTree\) and look for where the embedded PuTTY is (currently app-3.4.16\tools\putty) then open command prompt CMD + R "cmd" and enter "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\SourceTree\app-3.4.16\tools\putty\plink.exe" github.com and type yes. Now it should work.
