Setup GIT
Install Chrome (Some developer tools render properly only in Chrome for now)
Install GIT http://git-scm.com/downloads, choose default installation option, we will use GIT BASH application from this installation. (Windows 8 users can read Readying git on Windows 8 for Helix development)
Go to stash and attempt to login,this works off your windows login,.
Open GIT BASH and type ‘ssh-keygen’,press enter on prompts, note the location of the generated file which is a .pub file that contains your ssh key, you must always have network access to this location
when uploading/downloading files using git from stash.

Open .pub file (via notepad) created in above location and copy and paste all of the key to your stash ssh keys settings (press add key button)

6. Navigate to a folder you want to store GIT downloaded files in GIT Bash
7. Go to a repository in stash that has the files you want to download , press Clone button and copy and paste the SSH text like below

8. in GIT BASH type git clone sshtext like below, this will pull down the files from the repository above (helix.framework solution) to the specified folder below.
If this is successful, this proves you have successfuly setup GIT to talk to Stash.

Refer to Git and line endings to make sure your git configuration sittings are correct.
