This is not technically a question about Manjaro, but Manjaro is the one and only system where I ever had that experience.
Git asks me about my password for SSH constantly. Every single time I make push or pull.
I cannot stop this behaviour.
I tried everything.
eval $(ssh-agent)
ssh-add
I even put this into my sshconfig file:
Host *
AddKeysToAgent yes
UseKeychain yes
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
Is there anybody who knows how to solve this?
may you post the output of
systemctl status sshd
Interesting. Its dead.

I just restarted it and now its:

Now, it is possible to push and pull without passphrase but only in the terminal window / tab where I just reactivated it. If I open a new one, it still asks me again. Weird.
okay please try this
sudo systemctl enable sshd
sudo systemctl start sshd
to be bulletproof reboot and try
otherwise you can always revert it with
sudo systemctl stop sshd
sudo systemctl disable sshd
I don’t see a user associated with it. Mine is:
Host minikeeper
HostName 10.0.0.254
User mirdarthos
IdentityFile /home/mirdarthos/.ssh/id_rsa
I just restarted the system and it still asks for the key password every single time.
But its still enabled and running though.
@Mirdarthos
I am not sure about this, but I recently tried this one as well, which wasnt working either:
Host github.com
HostName github.com
PreferredAuthentications publickey
User myusername
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
This shouldn’t make a difference, but just for thoroughness sake, try changing
…to the absolute path…
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SSH_keys
You need to start the ssh-agent together with your gui, so it is persistent between terminal sessions.
This depends on the DE you use.
inxi in a terminal or in console.sudo inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width
Have you already 
for your problem in the forum ? (Wisdom lies in asking → listening → reading 
)
printenv tell ?printenv|grep ssh
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-XXXXXXxQxL95/agent.1918537
SSH_KEY_PATH=~/.ssh/rsa_id
I am using Gnome together with zsh.
Maybe it is a good idea to put something like this into the .zshrc?
eval $(ssh-agent) && ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa &>/dev/null
But this all seems weird to me, this is the first and only operating system where this wasnt working by default.

Here we go. Plugins=( ssh-agent)
I did not know that this would exist.
This is actually a good temporary solution.
It just annoys me that it then asks for the ssh password every single time I open a terminal tab…
The printenv command outputs this single line:
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-XXXXXXDCNvJC/agent.28639
cat ~/.ssh/config
ControlMaster auto
ControlPath /home/$YourName/.ssh/tmp/%h_%p_%r
ControlPersist 1h
VisualHostKey yes
AddKeysToAgent yes
It is also possible to load an ssh-agent at GUI-startup
If the agent is loaded early, it may be shared between terminals
Hey,
Thanks for your help.
The config change is fantastic. This actually works amazing.
Thank you
Thanks for reminding me. I did that after I got an error message when first running this
