I’ve been reluctant to use (Tortoise)Git for one single reason: Horrible broken integration with Windows (Yes, I’m a guy who likes to click stuff when I’m already running a desktop on a 300€ graphics card).

But I just made a groundbreaking discovery. The reason I’ve always been getting “no supported authentication methods left to try is” *drum roll* :

I added my private key for work to the putty “Default Settings” session, which (for some reason) prevents Putty (and in turn PLink) from falling through to Pageant and fails when it tries to authenticate to github with my work-SSH-key.

God damn! I’ve been working on getting TortoiseGit to work for so long, been trying different versions of each component and in the end it was as simple as clearing a textbox and clicking a checkbox.
