Whenever I want to commit something on my repository, I have to type 

ssh-add ~/.ssh/my_git_key_file

Is there a way to not do that every time I want to commit something? I want to use a .netrc file with this inside instead of the ssh keys:

machine github.com
login <login_github>
password <password_github>

This happens because your SSH daemon is not running. You can fix that by running:

eval `ssh-agent -s`
ssh-add ~/.ssh/my_git_key_file

Then it shouldn't ask you again about the SSH password.

If you want to use the .netrc file, use the HTTPS repository url:

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/owner/repo.git
