Answer 1

I had this issue because I generated a SSH key with ssh-keygen and tried to use it with GitExtensions which only understands OpenSSH keys.

What you have to do is, from GitExtensions:

• Tools > Putty > Generate or import key (A new window opens)
• Conversions > Import key
• Import your private key
• Save private key
• Type a file name like mykey.ppk

You should now able to use this new .ppk file in GitExtensions!
