#15Great guide, thanks. One issue I've run into trying to push from my windows 7 machine to my instance is a "Permission denied(publickey)" error, which I assume is due to a missing SSH key in git for my ec2 instance? Does anyone know how to tell the ec2 alias to use my instance private key when connecting?
If you're having issues with ssh picking up your keys, you can always call it out explicitly: ssh -i path/to/key.pem ec2-user@blah.amazonaws.com
if you're using an ubuntu image, it's going to be the ubuntu user: ssh -i path/to/key.pem ubuntu@blah.amazonaws.com
