Q | In trying to checkout a repository from github using cygwin (unix like command line interface for windows), according to the github help is do a ssh git@github.com. However, I got a “Permission denied (publickey)”. |
A | The missing ingredient for me was that cygwin uses the HOME environment variable and this was not set on my machine. I was then able to do a
git clone git@github.com:<github repository>. |
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
