I would like to run a git pull with ssh key in a script.

However, password of the ssh-key is required and I did not find anything in the man page that says we can give password as parameter.

I am looking for something like this (if possible):

eval $(ssh-agent -s)

ssh-add mykey -p keypassword

Is there a way to achieve this ?

@Inian unfortunatly not. I am always asked to give password of the key manually. – Itération 122442 May 22 '20 at 06:08
