ssh key in sourcetree terminal

Question

I have created a new ssh public and private keys using puttygen. copied public key in the stash server, and privatekey in  Pageant in my computer. I am able to clone the git repositories from sourcetree. Now I am trying to use git clone command from sourcetree terminal which is not allowing to use the same keys created. I copied the same public key which is earlier copied in stash to known_hosts also.

I get an error saying:

Permission denied (publickey).

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights

and the repository exists.

Can you suggest how I can be able to clone or pull repository through sourcetree terminal.

You might try using the "default" name for the key (id_rsa) and put it in "c:\Users\{username}\.ssh

Terminal does not seem to always look to pageant for the key list

Ok Seth Foss. Thank you for the help.

You don't want to put your own public key in your own known_hosts - that's for something different.

The SourceTree terminal is just the command line git client. If you don't get an answer here quickly, you might try a site with a broader audience like StackOverflow, because there are more git purists there, and they tend to have more advanced knowledge about configuring git.
