Cygwin: How to paste with a right click

For the last few weeks, I've been scratching my head because I could paste content into cygwin with a right click on my work computer, but I couldn't do it at home. And more annoyingly, I couldn't figure it out until a few minutes ago.

To enable paste with a right mouse click, follow these steps (written for dummies like me)

1) Open the cygwin options (aka preferences or settings)

2) Select mouse in the left menu, and select Paste under Right click action

And since the last few versions of cygwin supports windows resize, it has the same good features as putty :).

Git error about missing ca-bundle.crt on Cygwin

If you get the following error:

$ git push -u origin master
error: error setting certificate verify locations:
  CAfile: /usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
   [...]

when pushing, cloning, or any other operation that requires https access, the problem is that cygwin hasn't installed the ca-certificates package. Run the cygwin installer again, and add that package; after that git should start working.
