Under Windows following the instructions at https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/ExtractSandbox for moving an SVN sandbox library to GitHub I am successful in the first step of cloning SVN sandbox library to a temporary local directory. But when I go to that local directory and try:
git push --mirror git@github.com:eldiener/variadic_macro_data.git
I receive a PuTTY message of:
"Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey)"
I have no idea how PuTTY gets into this. I am using TortoiseGit and Git for Windows and evidently getting Git to work under Windows is difficult in some way.
Anybody have any idea how to straighten this out ?
Perhaps you didn't set up a ssh public key?
https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys#platform-windows
You will also have to add the key to TortoiseGit/PuTTY.
I added a hint to a couple of the doc pages to hopefully make that clearer.
Maybe you can mention using https rather than http to avoid the need for ssh keys with GitHub.
