You should be able to just ssh-add your key to the environment. Just make sure that you add the other portion of the key to the security section of your profile on github. Don't forget to use git@github.com:[repo] instead of https. Let me know if you need step-by-step. <div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 25, 2015 3:32 PM, "Saqman2060" <<a href="mailto:saqman2060@gmail.com">saqman2060@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div><div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt">I am learning GitHub myself.

I've installed keychain, but only after creating and adding the ssh key. The solution is to add: eval `keychain --eval id_rsa` to .bashrc? Or, just create a new key now that keychain is installed? see also: <a href="http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/90853/how-can-i-run-ssh-add-" target="_blank">http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/90853/how-can-i-run-ssh-add-</a> automatically-without-password-prompt <a href="https://help.github.com/articles/working-with-ssh-key-passphrases/" target="_blank">https://help.github.com/articles/working-with-ssh-key-passphrases/</a> Just installed 14.10 thanks, Thufir -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </div> -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
