Quick Bazaar on Windows over SSH

Quick notes on how to set up a version control system using Bazaar with just SFTP and Windows client.

• Get a Unix/Linux machine that you’ve an account and that supports SSH.
• Create a directory, say /home/loginid/repository
• On your Windows machine, download pageant.exe and puttygen.exe (at a minimum) from PuTTy site.
• Start puttygen.exe, generate your private and public key pair. Save private key somewhere. C:\Documents and Settings\\.ssh\id_rsa is a good choice. Exit puttygen.exe.
• In your server, make a .ssh directory, create a new file called authorized_keys, paste the public key into that file without any line breaks.
• Start pageant.exe. Right click on the icon (terminal with a hat) on the system tray, add key and choose the private key file.
• Download and install Bazaar Windows version.
• Start it Bzr in command line.
• Create the remote repository like bzr init sftp://username@remote/home/loginid/repository
• Create a local directory, create a repository there too.
• Add some files to local repository.
• When you want to push it up to remote, do bzr push sftp://username@remote/home/loginid/repository

For more info, read Bazaar doc.
