+    \section2 Using msysGit on Windows
+
+    If you configure Git for use with \c {git bash}, only, and use SSH
+    authorization, Git looks for the SSH keys in the directory where the
+    \c HOME environment points to. The variable is always set by \c {git bash}.
+
+    However, the variable is typically not set in a Windows command prompt.
+    When you run Git from a Windows command prompt, it looks for the SSH keys in its
+    installation directory, and therefore, the authorization fails.
+
+    You can set the \c HOME environment variable from Qt Creator. Select \gui {Tools >
+    Options... > Version Control > Git}. Select the \gui {Environment Variables}
+    and the \gui {Set "HOME" environment variable} check boxes. \c HOME is set to
+    \c %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% when the Git executable is run and authorization works
+    as it would with \c {git bash}.
