'ssh-keygen' is not recognized as an inter

问题:

I run git push -u origin master

It tells me that "Permission denied (public key) fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly"

Then I looked up on the internet and found that I had to generate an ssh key for my account on GitHub. However, upon doing so, when I tried to do ssh-keygen -t rsa "[e-mail]" it simply said ssh-keygen is not recognized. I tried doing mkdir C:\ssh but that didn't work. If it helps I'm using Ruby Rails and I'm on a Windows computer. Could anyone help me?

2012:
ssh-keygen.exe is part of msysgit:

 C:\path\to\msysgit1.7.11\bin\ssh-keygen.exe

if your %PATH% includes C:\path\to\msysgit1.7.11\bin\, you will have ssh-keygen.

Update 2015:
ssh-keygen.exe is part of Git For Windows, whose releases include PortableGit-2.4.3.1-2nd-release-candidate-64-bit.7z

c:\path\to\PortableGit-2.4.3.1-2nd-release-candidate-64-bit\usr\bin\ssh-keygen.exe

That means the %PATH% must include c:\path\to\PortableGit-2.4.3.1-2nd-release-candidate-64-bit\usr\bin (without the ssh-keygen.exe)

As I explained before, Git for Windows will soon phase out msysgit.
I detailed in "Why is it that if you download Git 2.0 from the net, you always get a 1.9.4 installer package?" how this new version is based on the more recent msys2 project.

I just had this issue and thought I'd share what I thought was an easier way around this.

Open git-bash and run the same command with the addition of -C since you're commenting in your email address: ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "[e-mail]" command. That's it.

git-bash should have been installed when you installed git. If you can't find it you can check C:\Program Files\Git\Git Bash

The first time I did this it failed to create the .ssh folder for me so I had to open a standard Command Prompt and mkdir C:\Users\yourusername\.ssh

I followed below in windows (With Git for Windows installed)

1. Run "Git Gui" (Start --> Git --> Git Gui)
2. Click Help and then Show SSH Key
3. Click Generate Key if you do not have one already

Note:- this creates the key files under your personal profile folder C:\Users\YourUserID\.ssh\

I found an easy solution to fix this :

In the command prompt, go to your git\bin directory, and then execute your commands from here

回答5:

No need to add anything to environmental variables! Just open up git bash and perform command the ssh-keygen in there.

Link to download git bash here

回答6:

If you have installed Git, and is installed at C:\Program Files, follow as below

1. Go to "C:\Program Files\Git"
2. Run git-bash.exe, this opens a new window
3. In the new bash window, run "ssh-keygen -t rsa -C""
4. It prompts for file in which to save key, dont input any value - just press enter
5. Same for passphrase (twice), just press enter
6. id_rsa and id_rsa.pub will be generated in your home folder under .ssh

回答7:

Just go to heroku.bat and add:

@SET PATH="D:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin";%PATH% after @SET PATH=%HEROKU_RUBY%;%PATH%

in my case it's in D:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin, change it to the path you've installed Git to. (i just left it with my path so it will be clearer on how to write this)

回答8:

I think you can add the location of the file ssh-keygen.exe in the PATH environment variable. Follow the steps: Go to My Computer->Right click->Properties->Advanced System Settings->Click Environmental Variables. Now click PATH and then click EDIT. In the variable value field, go to the end and append ';C:\path\to\msysgit1.7.11\bin\ssh-keygen.exe' (without quotes)

回答9:

don't do anything just type in your command prompt

C:\> sh

then you got like this

sh-4.4$ 
# type here 
ssh-4.4$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[e-mail]"

this should must work.

回答10:

You probably should check this. Windows doesn't have that command built in.

回答11:

For windows you can add this:

SET PATH="C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin";%PATH%

回答12:

I got it fixed by just adding ssh-keygen to my environment variables.

回答13:

for those who does not choose BASH HERE option. type sh in cmd then they should have ssh-keygen.exe accessible

回答14:

In my machine, ssh-keygen was available from powershell.
