There's a known issue with OpenSSH being quite slow on Windows, so I opted for using putty instead.
The issue - my keys were generated for OpenSSH, so I needed to somehow convert all my keys to putty ones.
Turns out - it's fairly easy:
- Launch puttygen.exe (If you're using Git Extenstions, you can find it in \Program Files\GitExtensions\PuTTY or \Program Files (x86)\GitExtensions\PuTTY)
- Press Load and locate your OpenSSH private key file (the first one is usually named "id_rsa".
- Then simply click Save and choose the same name with a ppk entension. In this example - id_rsa.ppk.
- Repeat for all other keys - if you have them.
That's about it. Git for Windows (msysgit) will now work with putty - and will do it much faster.
