Adding your SSH key to the ssh-agent

After following the directions given in this section, to store the passphrase in keychain, I continued to be prompted for the passphrase on every git push. I am using MacOS 12.6.2.

After reading some forums on related issues on recent MacOS versions, I found that copying the command given at step 3(ssh-add --apple-use-keychain ~/.ssh/id_{% ifversion ghae %}rsa{% else %}ed25519{% endif %}) into ~/.zshrc gave correct behaviour.

Use case: Mac users encountering problems with SSH connections using a stored passphrase.

Expected outcome: a note to suggest a fix to this problem, if encountered.

I suggest adding to the note at step 3 that this extra step may be required, e.g.:

If you continue to be prompted for your passphrase, you may need to add the above command to your ~/.zshrc file (or .bashrc for bash).

Additional information

~/.ssh/config is as per the instructions given, with no other contents.
