Git push and pull without entering password for the remote server

Question

I have set up git shell

When I push the change to the remote server which is [email protected] it asks for a password of that user.

I want to avoid entering the password every time I do git push origin master or git pull.

I have generated a key on putty for the [email protected]

How can I do store the password or use ssh keys?

You have 2 cases:

Remove passphrase from your key (by default - id_rsa). If you use putty - do this using puttygen. If u use pure msysgit do the command:
```
$ ssh-keygen -p [-P old_passphrase] [-N new_passphrase] [-f keyfile]
```
Use pageant from putty package to store your passphrase. It would ask passphrase only once for Windows user login session.

So when I log in through git to pull changes it won't ask me for password – user3302688 Feb 23 '14 at 17:19

You want to tell the server about the preshared key (https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys) or put the user's password in .netrc (Git - How to use .netrc file on windows to save user and password).

First ensure, you can ssh to the server without a password:

ssh 192.168.0.24

If this asks you for a password, you need to add your public key to the server in .ssh/authorized_keys Then ensure you can ssh again without a password.

Then use ssh protocol to clone/pull/push your git repo: git clone [email protected]:repo.git
