I have been trying for many months go get eclipse, of any sort, to work with git hub. I have git bash installed, this works, I have tortoise git installed, this works perfectly also. I have putty, and use pageant it to load my ssh key.

I'm currently using GTS (grails) version of eclipse. When I import an existing project which I just cloned with tortoise git, it picks up the git details. But when I try to fetch or pull or push from within eclipse, it always says:

Invalid remote: origin

googling this, most people say its an ssh config issue. This article: <http://www.bashedupbits.com/2013/04/fixing-ssh-connection-problems-in-egit.html> has a potential solution, but when I get to the bit when it says connect using putty to git@github.com, the putty session simply dies, so cant get further. I have the key loaded in pageant. 

Git command line, and tortiose git work perfectly.

Any ideas?

GIT\_SSH=C:\Program Files\TortoiseGit\bin\TortoisePlink.exe

I tried converting they putty ppk to an openssh type key, and "added" it in the preferences->general->network connections->SSH2->"add private key". didnt help.

In 

```
preferences->Team->Git->configuration->"repository settings"

```

I see:

```
Remote
  origin
     fetch: +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
     puttykeyfile: C:\Users\me\my.ppk
     URL: git@github.com:MyCo/myproj.git

```

Not sure what else can be done?
