Continuously adding SSH key to the ssh-agent

Under OS X 10.9.5, I am constantly hitting the git exit status: 128 error because of Permission denied (public key).

The key is verifiably on the version control system, but every time I change applications I need to:

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

to get a deployment process working.

While not very cumbersome, it is a sign of some bad configuration which may be leading to other permissions issues.

You can also try the following described in the Github docs page Adding your SSH key to the ssh-agent:

If you're using macOS Sierra 10.12.2 or later, you will need to modify your ~/.ssh/config file to automatically load keys into the ssh-agent and store passphrases in your keychain.

So either create or edit ~/.ssh/config, and add:

Host *
  AddKeysToAgent yes
  UseKeychain yes
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/some_id

This way you don't need an additional package.

Here is some documentation that has helped me debug SSH-Agent issues in the past: https://developer.github.com/guides/using-ssh-agent-forwarding/

Adding the verbose flag to SSH has helped me fix a number of issues.

Also, try this: https://github.com/capistrano-plugins/capistrano-ssh-doctor

Other than that, I'm not sure I can hazard an answer to this. Good luck!
