Heroku on Windows gives an error: Content Invalid public key

Question

Heroku refuses to accept my public key, which I created using puttygen. I tried to search for answers using Google, however, the decision to copy the key, and not save it through puttygen, did not solve my problem.

L:\>heroku keys:add "[path]\.ssh\id_rsa.pub"
Uploading ssh public key [path]\.ssh\id_rsa.pub
Enter your Heroku credentials.
Email: [email]
Password:
Uploading ssh public key [path]\.ssh\id_rsa.pub
 !   Contents Invalid public key

I tried to generate several key pairs if only one was unacceptable and none of them worked.

Answer 1

you can try making a cd in the .ssh directory and just do heroku keys: add id_rsa.pub

check the key’s timestamp to make sure it has just been created, the contents of the file should look something like this:
