I am trying to setup SSH for git on my Windows 7 system. Unfortunately according to
ssh -v I do not have ssh installed.

I installed git using the Windows download from http://git-scm.com/ (mySysGit I think). According to this tutorial I should have gotten a dialogue about installing OpenSSH but I did not. I have googled a tonne but not come up with any luck, - it seems like it always gets installed with the installer.

I have also tried installed GitHub for Windows but this did not fix the issue either.

Anyone able to explain where I'm going wrong?

Using Git Bash, you should get everything you need. Which options did you choose during the installation ?

Installed with options of 'run using git-bash only' and use the line endings for multiple platforms. I never received a dialogue for SSH. I installed the most recent stable Git-1.9.5-preview20141217.exe?
I just tried to reinstall the client, with the newest version. nsa33.casimages.com/img/2015/01/25/150125122113760101.png I let all default settings, and seems to be great. Have you unistalled all previous version before install another one ?
I uninstalled and reinstalled with this latest version, - still no option to install OpenSSH. Still not installed when run ssh -v. I will try download an older version of git
But that screenshot doesn't show SSH as being installed does it? I thought it should give you the version number like this? snag.gy/J8MFr.jpg Secondly, if I run the list command it says there is no directory? snag.gy/A5TQf.jpg
Okay, so I just went ahead and starting using SSH commands and it appears that it is in fact installed, despite these replies in git bash, I just haven't set up an identity yet slaps forehead. Thanks Bart
