I’d set a passphrase on an OpenSSH key that I use to connect to a git repo on my local server. It started to get annoying, and more annoying with any other tool that I tried to use with the same key as it’s seems not all tools are setup to handle the prompting for the keyphrase.
Quickest workaround: remove the passphrase with ‘ssh-keygen -p’
– when prompted give the name of the pub/priv keypair (eg id_rsa), give the current keyphrase, and then when prompted for the new keyphrase, just hit return and again to confirm.
