Git Push origin Master Hangs - cygwin w/ windows 7

Question

Pushing my first_app to git hub using cygwin on a windows 7 machine. Using the command git push origin master I get no response. Seems like it hangs and I have to ctrl c. I have already added my ssh key to github... Thanks.

Answer 1

As mentioned in the comments, using msysgit or GitHub for Windows (which includes msysgit) is a safer choice.

It will access your key at HOME, which will be by default under %HOMEDRIVE%\%HOMEPATH% unless you define HOME explicitly: see "MSysGit and ssh config. missing" for more.
