| TortoiseGit should install a copy of the "PuttyGen" program in the "bin" subfolder of its installation directory. Use this program to create a SSH2-RSA 1024 bit keypair (the default settings should be ok, just press the "Generate" button). Once this is done, you may paste the generated '''public''' key into the mask in your webbrowser (you reach this by clicking the "Add new SSH Public Key" link in your CodebaseHQ profile). Save the '''private''' key into a 'ppk' file on your development machine (you will need this one later on).
