I've tried all the suggestions in here , and still got prompt to enter my passphrase.

git pull

Enter passphrase for key '/root/.ssh/id_rsa':

Let me know if anything else I can provide.

Can someone please put an end to this ?

Anythings elses, I should look into ?

Do I need to restart my SSH service or my VM ?

Answer 1

Git keeps prompting me for password

Enter passphrase for key '/root/.ssh/id_rsa': 

No, it is not password, but passphrase. How did you create that key? What are you trying to achieve?

I am trying to not enter the passphrase all the time. – ihue 30 secs ago

Then you have two possibilities. Remove the passphrase from the ssh key and you will never have to enter the passphrase again:

ssh-keygen -p -P old_passphrase -N "" -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Or temporary cache the passphrase somewhere. For this, there is ssh-agent , which can be started using

eval `ssh-agent`

and then you can add the key:

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

You will be prompted once for the passphrase and then never again during your session.
