How to install/setup TortoiseGit to work with GitHub

For anyone looking to change an existing TortoiseGit installation to use PuTTY rather than OpenSSH, simply right-click, -> TortoiseGit -> Settings -> Network, then change ‘ssh.exe’ to ‘tortoiseplink.exe’. From then on, doing a push/pull should be using Pageant (and any keys you have set up in there) if you also have that running.
