[SOLVED] Git Extensions Authentication Error

Issue

I just downloaded git extensions. It is configured to use putty that comes with the installation. I used putty to create a private and public key and I have the agent started and I have added the private key.

I am using bitbucket and I have loaded my public key to my bitbucket account.

I get the ssh clone link from bitbucket and go to clone it in git extensions, I load the SSH key and hit clone and I get this error message.

Error Message

I have an SSH key loaded. Why is it saying I need to load a key? I uninstalled gitextensions and generated different keys. I looked at all the settings, i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong.

Git Extensions SSH settings

Windows 10

Putty 0.70

Git extensions 2.51.01

bitbucket.org

Solution

I found the answer.

When you copy past the git command from bitbucket, it is the wrong syntax for git Extensions.

You will copy something like this:

git clone [email protected]:guitardenver/led-pad-pcb.git

But you need to remove the "git clone" part for it to work with git Extensions.
