Why is the "Load putty key" field in TortoiseGit disabled?

Question

I would like to connect to my repository using an SSH key instead of a username & password.

However when I try to do this in TortoiseGit I can not enter the key because the "Load Putty Key" is disabled. Can anyone point out why this is happening and how I can enable the field?

Answer 1

In TortoiseGit settings go to Network. In field SSH Client, specify the path to TortoiseGitPLink

e.g.:

C:\Program Files\TortoiseGit\bin\TortoiseGitPLink.exe
