Microsoft Adds an OpenSSH Client to Windows 10

The problem with gitbash is its way slower.

Plus, the real reason you get Putty or SecureCRT if you’re lucky, is because they are actually terminal emulators and not a DOS shell.

Sorry I don’t find Mona compelling at all.

Yeah, but doesn't Putty force you to use it's goofball ssh keys? With git bash you can use regular ssh keys. And, you can generate them the way you're used to (assuming you already use Linux). Idk, I think git bash works just fine in most cases.

It does. But it also comes with a utility that will generate keys, and/or convert regular SSH keys to the format Putty uses.

Wow. Way slower? Git bash is just as fast for me. And MUCH more convenient.

you can install the tools into your global path so that you can use git's openssh from powershell.
