Could not generate ssh public key for heroku in Windows 7

Question

While I am trying heroku login through cmd in my machine, it says

Could not find existing public key
Would you like to generate one? [

Answer 1

For Win7 64-bit users, the file %HerokuPath%s\bin\ssh-keygen.bat looks like:

@SETLOCAL
@SET HOME=%USERPROFILE%
@"%HerokuPath%\..\Git\bin\ssh-keygen.exe" %*

But Heroku installs Git in Program Files (x86), so if you update the .bat file to:

@SETLOCAL
@SET HOME=%USERPROFILE%
@"C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\ssh-keygen.exe" %*

Then you should be able to generate your ssh keys.
