git pull asks for password everytime

that question has already ask a million times and non of the solutions seems to work for me. I run openSuse Linux and everytime I do a git pull (or push) I get

git-files> git pull
Enter passphrase for key '/home/xxxx/.ssh/id_rsa':

When running ssh-add or ssh-add -k the password is only stored until the next restart.

What can I do to make it work?

Ubuntu Quick Tips suggests to use the keychain to persists your SSH keys passphrases.

Adapted to OpenSuse:

# For openSUSE Tumbleweed run the following as root:

zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/security.repo
zypper refresh
zypper install keychain

# add the following lines to your ${HOME}/.bashrc or /etc/bash.bashrc:

keychain id_rsa id_dsa
source ~/.keychain/$(uname -n)-sh

The alternative would be to switch to an HTTPS URL, which requires a username/password (or token), and use a git credential storage.
But this has nothing to do with SSH anymore.
