'ssh-keygen' is not recognized as an inter

Question

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?

Answer 1

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)

Answer 2

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