ssh-keygen command not found when setting up Git on Windows

I'm following the steps here. I'm on step 3 of Set Up SSH Keys.

When I type in:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "myemailhere"

I get the response:

ssh-keygen: command not found

What is this supposed to mean? I'm using the portable version of Git, I've got open bash.exe from inside the bin.

it would appear that you don't have ssh installed on your computer. you will need an ssh client, since it appears you on using windows you can use and it will come with one, I don't know about a portable version of ssh, though..

The tutorial on GitHub is wrong. The correct one is ssh-keygen -t rsa -C

I also had this problem.
