Clicking with Git Bash works, but with a Git Gui error

Question

I find a weird road block with Git. I am trying to push the code to GitHub using Git Gui. I have done this many times before, but this is the first time on this machine. I installed the keys, as I did on my other machines, and added the public key to my GitHub account. But here, where everything is strange. I can just click using Git Bash, but when I try to click and using Git Gui it doesn't work with an error ...

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

As I said, I did this before, and I understand how the keys work, but I just can not understand this problem. I even tested as GitHub suggests using the command ...

ssh -T [e-mail]

... and I get the expected response ...

Hi charlesbihis! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

But then again, when I try to click using Git Gui, it fails.

Update . After posting this question, I saw that there is a problem in Google Code that describes my exact problem. Perhaps this is a problem with Gui's Git itself?

Answer 1

Have you tried installing the latest version of Git with Homebrew ? Brew has Git 1.7.10.2 and Git gui on OSX works for me at least.

Answer 2

You can install Sourcertree: https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/ .
It will use your ssh keys and it should work without problems.

Be sure to install ssh in openssh, not putty.
