I don't use PuTTY either for the same reasons as you, but I do continue to use Pageant. I use a mix of Windows and Linux tools and I only really want to enter my SSH cert credentials at start-up. So I still end up installing it.
I also use Bitvise for tunneling on the Windows side as well.
- fetbaffe 10y agoYou can use Pageant with oter tools than Putty's own tools?
- sbuttgereit 10y agoSort of... the Bitvise SSH client I use for tunneling, it comes out of box understanding that Pageant is an available agent and will reference it; a lot of tools know that PuTTY is common and therefore expect the tools to be present. With git and tools that use Git, PuTTY distributes plink.exe, which acts as a helper. So you set something like... GIT_SSH=c:\Program Files\Putty\plink.exe To make that happen. So PuTTY is not my shell, but is still pretty important for its good set of overall tools.
