Git in windows

download git bash
generate ssh key: ssh-keygen -t rsa, enter & remember passphrase
it shows where the files are created, open with notepad: notepad C:\Users\Durvah01/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
copy content, paste in git provider’s ssh keys settings
pull the repo, it’ll ask passphrase, enter and validate

get .pem file (eg from AWS EC2 linux)
convert .pem to .ppk: open PuttyGen -> load the file -> save private key (without passphrase)
Putty configuration
- Session: user@host, select SSH
- SSH > Auth: browse .ppk file -> open

open WinSCP, new site
enter host (default port 22), username, no password
Advanced Settings > Authentication > SSH: browse .ppk file (convert .pem to .ppk first)

@R = right click
before installing, in windows
1. disable RST if enabled (or from BIOS)
2. disable BitLocker if enabled (only from windows)
make free disk space: This PC @R -> Manage > Manage Disk Space -> create partition, then delete it (frees the space)
boot linux from a bootable device (not just bootable files - a bootable device gives install options)
installing
- prefer “install along with windows” if offered
- else choose “something else” and follow:
  1. select the free space made earlier
  2. + -> size: 2x RAM, use as: swap area
  3. + -> size: remaining, use as: Ext4 journaling file system, mount point: /
  4. click install
