Can you use the Github app with Beanstalk?

Question

Being new to Git, I wanted to use a graphical interface (based on Windows) and preferred the Github application. However, I would like to integrate this site with a Beanstalkapp account. I am sure it is possible, but I can not understand it.

Inside the Github app, I go to my repository. When I select “ Tools > Preferences ... ”, I put the Git URL for the repository provided by Beanstalk into “ Primary Remote (start) ” in my Github app.

Now, when I click " Publish " (which says "Click to publish this branch on the server" when I hover over it), it changes to "Publish ...". After a few seconds I get this error:

server error

The remote server is down. Please try again later, or if this fails, contact support [e-mail]

I am sure I installed the SSH keys correctly (I have never done this before). I added the key to both Beanstalkapp and my Github account.

Yes, you can.

Github creates an SSH key in the C:/Users/username/.ssh (based on my Windows 7 settings). You must add the key that Github creates github_rsa to your keys in Beanstalk.

What did I do wrong ...

I created an SSH key (which is very common in almost every w20 getting started tutorial), and added this key to Beanstalk, thinking that my computer (or maybe Git) automatically uses that key (I am New for this. Hmm , no. :) The Github application creates and uses its own key, and what you upload to Beanstalk if you want to use this application.
