TortoiseGit-git did not exit cleanly (exit code 1)

Question

I got this message when i tried to create repository by using Git clone.

git did not exit cleanly (exit code 1)

How to fix this?

Answer 1

Following this guide I had the same issue. To expand on Eric Moore's ridiculously vague answer,

Right click > TortoiseGit > Settings > Network

Down the bottom in the "SSH" section, hit Browse and find your TortoiseGit\bin\TortoisePlink.exe file. In my case the path was under Programs as opposed to Program Files
