SourceTree on Windows: How to connect to SSH?

Question

I have an SSH access to my web hosting, it works great with PuTTY (I just had to enter my domain, username and password), however it seems much more complicated with SourceTree.

Answer 1

1. Generate SSH key, private and public

• Source Tree > Tools > Create or Import SSH Keys

2. Putty

• Click Generate
• Save public key under .ssh folder
• Save private key under .ssh folder

3. Add private key to Pageant, running in background
4. Clone the git project using SSH key
