Following the commands below, I am under the impression that my key is added to "the registry". What am I doing, or where is putty screwing up. I should note that scp alone works because I coppied my id_rsa key from my cygwin installation to my /c/Users/mehoggan/.ssh diroctory and ssh-add'd it. However it is the git portion that is not working. My .ppk file is located in PuTTY's default location /c/Users/mehoggan/Documents. The public version was coppied and pasted up to gerrit.

$ /c/Program\ Files/GitExtensions/PuTTY/plink.exe -P 29418 -l mehoggan matthewh.me
The server's host key is not cached in the registry. You
have no guarantee that the server is the computer you
think it is.
The server's rsa2 key fingerprint is:
"finger print"
If you trust this host, enter "y" to add the key to
PuTTY's cache and carry on connecting.
If you want to carry on connecting just once, without
adding the key to the cache, enter "n".
If you do not trust this host, press Return to abandon the
connection.
Store key in cache? (y/n) y

In the first part, you are connecting to matthewh.me, and in the second one you are connectiong to www.matthewh.met.

The first connection stored the host key for matthewh.me.

The second connection asks for the host key, because the key for www.matthewh.me isn't yet stored.

You should connect with putty to www.matthewh.me, and store the host key before running git.
