This is also worth a read since the accepted answer mentions that the AddKeyToAgent option results in the older OSX behaviour ( i.e. Solution 2: (Requires recent versions of openssh) Use AddKeysToAgent SSH config optionĪlso note that, based on this, with recent versions (>=7.2) of openssh, it is possible to use the following configuration in ~/.ssh/config to do the equivalent of above: Host * For instance dump the following in ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ist:

Try creating the the following LaunchAgent to auto-load all keys. Solution 1: Autoloading keys from keychaing to ssh-agent on startup If you have other ideas about what to do, I'd appreciate ideas. I'll ask one of them to try that and see. My best guess so far is that they created keys without any passphrases, in which case the thing might work without ssh-agent. I'm trying to find out what is different in their systems. I have asked several more senior Mac users and they say they don't see this problem, that Git and SSH keys just work. Linux systems always start ssh-agent for us and we never notice this inconvenience, I gather. I'd like to put same in the shell configuration, don't know how. Even if we put them in a shell script, not awesome. That's tedious, but as far as I can see it is the state of the Mac world. As far as I can tell, when a user wants to interact with GitHub or some other Git remote using ssh protocols, it is necessary to run these two lines the terminal: $ eval '$(ssh-agent -s)' In the newer Mac OS, the user accounts don't have ssh-agent launched within each session and the user key is not remembered. We are able to accomplish same in Gitlab servers or BitBucket. We are able to generate SSH keys, upload the public part, and then we can interact with GitHub.

the same setup stopped working right after i updated to os 10.

MacFusion stopped working on 10.6 after loading os in 64 bit mode, but that was fixed with that macfuse 2.1.9. On a Macintosh, we follow instructions here. As I am having the same problem with MacFusion, I am curious what changed from 10.6 to 10.8 that MacFusion stopped being able to pass passwords. No manual upload or download needed Uses your machine's native configuration for SSH, including support for private keys and custom settings.

I can coach them through the command line part, but on some Mac setup things I'm helpless. Macfusion brings servers from across the internet directly to your Mac's desktop Work with your files using your favorite Mac OS X applications directly. I use Linux, I help some students that have Macintosh.
