When trying to push a repo using git gui to Github it opens a new
window saying pushing branch and working....please wait...Push works
if I do it by command line and I think the bug may be related to
public/private keys? Git GUI never asks for a password for when I
upload the repo. Am I doing something wrong? (When I click sign off in
Git gui it shows the correct name). I'm using msysGit 1.5.5. Thanks.

```

git-gui doesn't offer a way to feed a password to SSH, so you
need to use an ssh agent to load your key and bypass the SSH
password prompt.
