You're likely in the wrong category. The issue involves managing SSH keys across platforms, specifically adding a Windows key to your VSC setup. The correct approach depends on how you want to handle key selection during connection.
Windows includes OpenSSH natively, functioning identically to Linux environments. The ssh-keygen utility is also available on Windows. Keep your private key confidential and store it securely within the system you connect to—typically under C:\Users\<username>\.ssh, similar to Linux setups (~/.ssh). Alternatively, place it wherever convenient and reference it via the openssh command arguments. The challenge arises when using PuTTY for key generation; it operates differently and isn’t recommended. This situation dates back when Windows lacked openSSH, WSL, and related features—now such tools seem unnecessary. Many continue using PuTTY due to legacy configurations, while Windows Terminal offers a modern alternative.
