SSH Private Key Permissions using Git GUI or ssh-keygen are too open

Question

Recently I\'ve been unable to clone or push to github, and I\'m trying to find the root cause.

This is on windows

I have cygwin + git as well as msy

Answer 1

What did the trick for me was to update CYGWIN environment variable with: "tty nodosfilewarning". Didn't even need to chmod the key.
