Using Windows in a Unix environment seems like a bad choice at first. However, Microsoft has changed strategy and embraced the Unix world with projects such as Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) or Windows SQL Server support for Linux. In result you can install bash with <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10">WSL</a> and use the native ssh client. But there is also another way. If you install <a href="https://git-scm.com/download/win">Git for Windows</a> a ssh binary is shipped as well. This binary and other tools such as <code>ssh-keygen</code> are not available from the command line by default. I want show you how to fix this, setup a keypair and start using ssh in a Windows environment.</p>
