SSH-agent

[itendtostare]

I figured I d ask here as this repo is super well documented and it helped me massively to build my first working arch linux machine ( thank you Matt ! ). After having set up the basics I m trying to start working with git and github. On Windows and MacOS I usually use SSH to login and clone repos, etc, but I m finding myself at an empasse with Linux. My ssh-agent does not seem to remember the passwords between sessions / at logoff. Does anyone know how to make the behaviour persistent (ie I make a new ssh key, add the password, add it to my keychain and forget it ?)

Hi,

First of all, Im glad my dotfiles helped! :)

I for example use the gpg-agent instead of the ssh one but I have to put my password all the times as well. You could try Git Credential Manager. I remember trying it a while ago and as far as I remember it did save your key password through reboot.
