Why do I have to keep unlocking my SSH key?
Found it elsewhere. I had to do this:
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
For anyone who get's a Could not open a connection to your authentication agent
when executing ssh-add
will need to start ssh-agent
first.
eval `ssh-agent`
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
I am sure you have fixed this by now, but you might be interested to see a response to a question I recently asked on AskUbuntu.
