How to avoid using 'ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa' for every push to a github repo?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I have to repeatedly enter the following terminal commands in order to be able to push to a remote github repository. If I push to github, and then code some more for the next few hours before pushing again, I have to enter the commands:
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
Otherwise I get the following error messages:
>> git push origin master
sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation
Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote
repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository
exists.
What do I have to do so that I will no longer need to keep using ssh-add in order to be able to push? I would have thought that using ssh-add once would have fixed the issue but it seems that isn't the case!

Add your ssh key file - id_rsa to the directory ~/.ssh/
Use copy or move to place it there rather than the ssh-add
This is the private file that start with:
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
If you don't have a private key file, maybe the issue is that your actually need to generate them
- Open a terminal on your local computer and enter the following:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email@example.com"... - Just press to accept the default location and file name. ...
Enter, and re-enter, a passphrase when prompted. ... - You're done!

The OP mentions~/.ssh/id_rsa— what makes you think it's missing or invalid?
– Stephen Kitt
Mar 18 '17 at 13:27
Because that is within the context of thessh-addcommand. Maybe there's an issue with that is what I thought.
– Michael Durrant
Mar 18 '17 at 20:52
When the OP does that, the push works, which suggests thessh-addcommand worked too. It sounds more like the SSH agent is dying for some reason (or no longer responding on its socket, which happens with GNOME’s keyring daemon on my system).

Mar 18 '17 at 20:55
Sure @StephenKitt you are correct. My answer is somewhat like a comment, but obviously far too long. It's meant more for the OP to try it as investigative and maybe it'll work or maybe it'll show an error. Maybe not.
