Avoid pass-phrase prompt on git push to remote

Question

When I created my SSH key while setting up git, I chose to use a pass-phrase for the key. Now, whenever I push to my remote repository (unfuddle), I get prompted for this pass-phrase. Is there some way to automate this?

@Nuzzolilo I've updated the link - although I suspect there are other better guides available. – Douglas Leeder Jun 19 '12 at 17:09
