Connecting to TheChaw using Git Extension

Chaw is an application developed on CakePHP to handle some simple tasks needed for hosting code, providing information, and getting contributions from the world. It’s the repository for CakePHP rapid development framework and also home for everything useful for CakePHP developers like the debug_kit for CakePHP.

Here’s what I did to connect successfully to TheChaw repository, I use the GIT Extensions which can be found here: GIT EXTENSIONS I also use putty from the putty project download the complete package.

Create an SSH Key using Puttygen I use SSH-2 RSA 1024, save your private and public key to any directory. Make sure to enter a key phrase if you want to change it and also to secure it.

Copy your OpenSSH key (its the key that says: Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized key files) from your puttygen screen logged in to your account at the chaw repository http://thechaw.com and paste your SSH key in the field for the GIT in your account.
