Git bash: could not open a connection to your authentication agent

Question

I'm new to Github and Generating SSH Keys look a necessity. I successfully created SSH Key but when I'm going to add it to the ssh-agent

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.

Answer 1

For this problem you could use:

exec ssh-agent bash 

eval ssh-agent -s

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

These commands will help in creating and adding ssh keys in ssh-agent.
