    35'''Note:''' this guide was created on a 32-bit Windows XP SP2 machine.
    … …  
    57In particular, most Vista and Windows 7 machines are 64-bit rather than 32-bit,
    68so you will need the 64-bit version of !TortoiseGit (linked in the instructions below).

    3939Run '''!TortoiseGit-1.7.11.3-32bit.msi''' (or '''!TortoiseGit-1.7.11.3-64bit.msi''' if you're on a 64-bit system) to begin !TortoiseGit installation

    49 !TortoiseGit installation is complete! Let's move on to creating your public/private key pair.
    50 
    51 = !Public/Private Key Creation =
    52 
    53 Browse to the folder where you installed '''!TortoiseGit'''. By default, this will be '''C:\Program Files\!TortoiseGit\'''
    54 
    55 Open the '''bin''' folder inside the TortoiseGit folder and located '''puttygen.exe'''
    56 
    57 [[Image(puttygen-location.png)]]
    58 
    59 Run '''puttygen.exe'''
    60 
    61 [[Image(puttygen-1.png)]]
    62 
    63 Click the ''''Generate'''' button. You'll be asked to move your mouse around for a bit while a progress bar fills up. This helps make your key more random (which makes it harder for someone else to impersonate you).
    64 
    65 [[Image(puttygen-2.png)]]
    66 
    67 When the progress bar finishes, your key will appear. Enter a password (twice) before continuing.
    68 
    69 [[Image(puttygen-3.png)]]
    70 
    71 First click ''''Save Public Key'''' and save your key somewhere. I've saved mine as ''''public.ppk'''' in my Application Data/ssh folder, but you can put this anywhere. Just keep it somewhere safe where you can find it later.
    72 
    73 [[Image(puttygen-4.png)]]
    74 
    75 Next click ''''Save Private Key'''' and save your key somewhere. I recommend putting it in the same place as your public key. I've named mine ''''private.ppk''''. '''Remember:''' your private key never leaves your computer! Only your '''public key''' gets shared with anyone.
    76 
    77 [[Image(puttygen-5.png)]]
    78 
    79 Now that you've saved your public/private key pair, copy the ''''Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys file'''. Don't worry about what that means; we're going to be emailing this to David/Rom instead.

    83 = Conclusion =
    84 
    85 '''Congratulations''' You've successfully:
    86 
    87 * Installed Git and !TortoiseGit
    88 * Set up your !Public/Private key pair
     49!TortoiseGit installation is complete!
