tortoisegit settings->git->remote not showing

Question

I want to use tortoisegit for windows7-64bit. I have already generated ssh-keys. I have read many tutorials instructing me how to "make the SSH key be known to TortoiseGit". Tutorials say that I should go to settings->git->remote, and fill some fields properly.

The problem is that in my computer, the "remote" options does not show up. Assuming that was a bug of last version, I tried to install some previous versions (non-last-ones), and the problem remained. I am stuck.

Can someone help me either to make the "remote" option to show, or to explain me how to make ssh key be known to tortoisegit.

Thanks in advance.

Solution 1

In order to see the "remote" option (under TortoiseGit -> Settings) you should launch (right click) TortoiseGit on a folder which belongs to a GIT working copy or on a repository.

So, you have to clone a repository or creating an empty one.

Solution 2

To find the "remote" option you should select a folder which is repository and Right click to select tortoisegit and select pull ,then you can see the "manage remote" on the popu windows,then click it and you can set the remote NOW!
