Trying to set up .SSH keys to connect to Github via Cygwin

I've just installed Cygwin on Windows 7 to develop RoR apps with, trouble is I am trying to connect Git with my Github account through Cygwin but for some reason when I run the command ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "[email protected]" it gives me back the message "bash: ssh-keygen: command not found"

I am following the Ruby on Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartle by the way but can't seem to find a solution.

Can anyone offer any advice?

Chances are you probably forgot to install the openssh package when you installed Cygwin.

I've used this guide before, and everything was flawless(for ssh):
