heroku complaining about my public key created by ssh-keygen2

Question

I am trying to access my heroku app from work (windows machine).

I installed cygwin on the machine and generated ssh-key as well. However, I get the below error:

C:>heroku keys:add "C:\cygwin\home\4541450\[email protected]" Uploading ssh public key C:\cygwin\home\4541450\[email protected] Enter your Heroku credentials. Email: [email protected] Password: Uploading ssh public key C:\cygwin\home\c54550\[email protected] ! Contents Invalid public key / Contents Invalid public key / Fingerprint can 't be blank

I generated the ssh key with the command below.

ssh-keygen2 "[email protected]" -t rsa

ssh-keygen is not available with this cygwin.

Answer 1

Do you have a passphrase on the key? Mine didn't work until I generated one with a passphrase.

Answer 2

Perhaps my other answer here is helpful. It's my setup for deploying to Heroku from Windows.

Answer 3

the "C:\cygwin\home\4541450\[email protected]" should be your public key, not the private one
