[CVALE] [Off Topic] Any of you guys use GitHub?

[Landon Blake]

J,

Turns out GitHub wasn't looking for a key served by Pageant, but was
looking for the key in a specific place on my file system. When I
generated the key using the Git command line, instead of Puttygen,
everything worked fine.

Thanks for the help.

You exported your Putty key as an OpenSSH formatted key, correct?

What is the full error?

Putty goesn't generate OpenSSH format keys, by default. You have to 
export the OpenSSH public key from Puttygen.

Without a full error message, that's all I can give you for now. :)
