This is probably stupid newbie syndrome, but I have been following the instructions on https://build.phonegap.com/docs/git-h... (except that I am using git on Windows 7 and so using gui rather than linux style commands). I get as far as trying to set up the remote using the git@git.phonegap.com:jxxxxxxx/XXXXX_xxxxxxxxx.git string provided for me on the myApps page, and then git asks me for git@git.phonegap.com's password - i have tried my phoneGap/build password, the password I used in creating the ssh key and no password at all - all of which fail. Help?

I'm not sure about the GUI you're using - any client that gives you SSH access should allow for public key access (using the SSH key you added to your account).

There's no password login for git@git.phonegap.com - we use public key access to ensure no other users have access to your repositories.

Thanks for replying Andrew, screen shot attached. git.phonegap.com shows up in the known-servers file in my .ssh directory; no idea why this is happening, maybe I just have to forget git.

Redid the whole thing and it worked this time. Doubtless a PICNIC problem, sorry :)
