If you choose a non-blank passphrase in step 5, you can have to enter it after running the following command: $ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa Private keys stored in the agent can only be used for one purpose: signing a message, run command below to add the agent: It doesn’t allow your private keys to be exported.It doesn’t write any key material to disk.The SSH agent keeps private keys safe because of what it doesn’t do: It runs in the background on your system, separately from SSH, and it usually starts up the first time you run SSH after a reboot.
