I am trying to install poison Tap on my raspberry pi as i need it for a project at university. I am following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYDa_VDbjPY&t=95s . I managed to set up an usb connection and SSH to my pi. However one of the steps that I must take is to download the software from github(thus i need git). To install it i need Wi-Fi which I currently don't have.

I tried buying an USB hub with multiple ports but in my setup i need an OTG usb->micro-usb connector and that piece ruins my ability to SSH on the raspberry(don't know why but I can't use this solution).

I was wondering if I can share the wi-fi between the laptop and my Raspberry Pi Zero through the USB connection and still be able to ssh on the Pi with putty?(and how to do that obviously)

The question is a few months old, but I think, people still encounter this issue when trying to configure a Pi Zero over USB.

So:

You can simply make a network bridge from the USB connection to the WiFi. On MacOSX this is done in the system settings via network share:

Share Wifi Network with USB Adapter (Mac)

In Windows it's in the adapter settings, as shown e.g. here: Network bridging on Windows
