Key Generation


GitHub Help
BitBucket Help

Check for existence

open Git Bash

If you have one skip to Add
Generate

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"

BitBucket - Set up SSH for Git on Windows > Step 3. Add the public key to your Bitbucket settings. You may need to expand Expand for details.
GitHub - Adding a new SSH key to your GitHub account

Git

Already sorted 😊👍
Mercurial

Open PuTTY Key Generator (Start > PuttyGen) either Generate or Conversions (my preference)
Conversions > import key > C:\Users\<USERNAME>\.ssh\id_rsa
Note: If you don't see file extensions two file will appear to have the same name. The first (looks like a text file) is the one you want.

Save public key Bitbucket.pub.ppk Note .pub. in the file name for the public key.
Save private key Bitbucket.ppk

Edit C:\Users\<USERNAME>\mercural.ini and add ssh = ssh -C under [ui]
[ui]
# name and email (local to this repository, optional), e.g.
username = Alex McTest <AlexMcTest@some-domain.com>
ssh = ssh -C
Tortoise HG

In Tortoise HG check repos start with ssh://hg@
Open the repo View > Syncronise (Alt+4)
Pageant Shortcut


If you're fed up with typing in password every time 😕

Create a shortcut in C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Target

If you create a shortcut in windows Right Click > New > Shortcut you will need to point to the exe ("C:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY\pageant.exe") and then Right Click > Properties to edit the details.
If you have PuTTY installed.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY\pageant.exe" Bitbucket.ppk
or if you don't have PuTTY installed but do have TortoiseGit
"C:\Program Files\TortoiseGit\bin\pageant.exe" Bitbucket.ppk
Start In

C:\Users\<USERNAME>\.ssh
