How to permanently save SSH Key passphrase in Gitkraken?

Question

I'm using Gitkraken and it keeps forgetting my SSH Key passphrase after every restart of the app. I've tried ssh-add with the Gitkraken CLI/Terminal, but I haven't been able to figure out how to make Gitkraken remember the SSH Key passphrase in between restarts. Can somebody educate me how to do this?

Answer 1

I fixed this by using the local SSH agent on Mac (Ventura OS): SSG Agent parameter location in Gitkraken

And prior to that I had to load automatically my passphrase in my .zshrc (not sure if it's mandatory to make it work with Gitkraken):

ssh-add --apple-use-keychain ~/.ssh/id_rsa
