TortoiseGit using incorrect SSH key

Question

I have a strange problem with tortoise git at the moment, which I can\'t figure out. When trying to commit to my repository on github I get the error

ERRO

Answer 1

create the key in git bash:

ssh-keygen -t rsa

Leave everything blank and don't set a password. Take the contents of the ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub and paste it into the public key space provided by github.

Now test this by connecting to github via ssh. If that works, you will be able to use git.

hope this helps.
