While using git, it is annoying to type a password or passphrase when there are frequent commits/pushes.
The following steps prevent users from typing passphrases:
- Start
ssh-agent
$ eval `ssh-agent -s`
- Add your private key using
ssh-add
$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa Enter passphrase for /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa_key: Identity added: /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa_key (/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa_key)
