Problems getting git 'server' to work on Windows

Question

I've followed the Tim's article (mentioned in the answer to this question), but - like many others, it seems - I'm stuck when trying do the test clone at the end. I get the fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly error, even though my $HOME path seems to be right.

Anyone got any pointers to where I might start for debugging this? My git and linux-fu are severely limited...

I'm aware of this answer to the same question, but it doesn't apply in my case, I don't get any messages about paths.

Answer 1

Just to formalize my comment:

• How can I get git and copSSH to look in the correct directory for keys? insists on double-checlin your $HOME variable
• git push origin master , invalid port number insists on using the right url
• and Unable to Git-push master to Github is a compilation of points to check when having ssh connection issues.

Since you mention:

I just tried

 ssh [email protected] -p 4837

which says

Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive).

it means you need to check how you define your key (probably with a pass-phrase, which might be an issue here)
