git Permission denied (publickey), on every connect

Question

I try to simplify my work with git, then i try to pull my repository with

git pull

i get "Permission denied (publickey), i solve this by two commands:

1. ssh-agent /bin/bash 

2. ssh-add /root/.ssh/mykey

Enter passphrase for /root/.ssh/mukey * - now i cat use "git pull"

but then i connect next time via ssh i must reenter this two commands again and again

how to make it auto init to skip this steps ?

Answer 1

You should have:

• an ssh config file specifying all the details of your ssh connection.

  cat ~/.ssh/config
  
  Host yourserver
  Hostname upstream.server.com
  User git                          # or the right user account to use on your server
  IdentityFile /root/.ssh/mykey
  

• change the remote url

  git remote set-url origin ssh://yourserver:yourRepo.git
  

• add the agent and ssh-add command in your .bashrc or .profile.

  • One approach is described, for instance, in "Configuring Git over SSH".

  • Another approach in "How to run (git/ssh) authentication agent?"

    1. Add a file called .bashrc to your home folder

    2. Open the file and paste in:

       #! /bin/bash 
       eval `ssh-agent -s` 
       ssh-add /root/.ssh/mykey
