PuTTY is a terminal emulator that uses Secure SHell (SSH) to communicate with a host. You need to install PuTTY in order to create a public/private encryption key pair. This pair of keys enables git to communicate securely with the repositories.

To install PuTTY, visit, www.putty.org and follow the links to the appropriate Windows installation for your machine (32-bit or 64 bit). The downloaded file will be named putty-0.67-installer.msi or the like.

Execute the .msi file. Use all the default settings, thereby ensuring that you will install pageant.exe, plink.exe, and puttygen.exe.

Generate a key with puttygen. (You can invoke it by double-clicking on puttygen.exe in its installed location; typically C:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY\puttygen.exe .) puttygen will ask you to move your mouse over its dialog box to generate random seed bits.

3. When done, start a command line (cmd.exe) and run 'env'; the newly added environment variable should appear.
4. Copy/paste the known_hosts entries listed, into a file named known_hosts under your .ssh profile (something like C:\Users\<my-id>\.ssh) (if known_hosts does not exist, create it).
