There are three main ways to generate a public key in Windows. We've tried them all with Windows 7, but given the PuTTY tools are most popular, they are documented first. Whichever method you choose, email your generated key to your designated manager and they will notify you when your account has been created. Note, if you have multiple keys because you have multiple machines, or perhaps you have different keys for different software, send them all to us - we can set you up with as many keys as you want bound to your Code Enigma account.

In the grey box at the top, entitled 'Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys file', there will be a string of nonsense. Copy all of this string into an email and send it to us, as per the opening instruction on this page.

That's it, you're done!

Git Bash

This is a light-weight terminal client for using Git from the command line on Windows. It's a sort of scaled down version of CygWin, and one of the nice things about it is it permits normal 'Terminal' access to Linux servers.
