How do I make my SSH settings stick for my repository on macOS?

Question

Every time I restart, I need to execute ssh-add, or git fetch will fail and give me a "permission denied" message. How do I solve it?

Lots of questions to ask here: first, what are you connecting to - a private repository in a company, or GitHub/Bitbucket/GitLab? Do you have more than one key defined on your system that could cause the confusion? — Makoto, Mar 07 '17 at 03:44

On mac, you can use ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/your_private_key

If not, you need to add that step in ~/.profile.
You have other alternatives detailed in "Add private key permanently with ssh-add on Ubuntu" which might apply to MacOS as well.
