+ \section2 Using msysGit on Windows
+
+ If you configure Git for use with \c {git bash}, only, and use SSH
+ authorization, Git looks for the SSH keys in the directory where the
+ \c HOME environment points to. The variable is always set by \c {git bash}.
+
+ However, the variable is typically not set in a Windows command prompt.
+ When you run Git from a Windows command prompt, it looks for the SSH keys in its
+ installation directory, and therefore, the authorization fails.
+
+ You can set the \c HOME environment variable from Qt Creator. Select \gui {Tools >
+ Options... > Version Control > Git}. Select the \gui {Environment Variables}
+ and the \gui {Set "HOME" environment variable} check boxes. \c HOME is set to
+ \c %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% when the Git executable is run and authorization works
+ as it would with \c {git bash}.
