I have created ssh key pair. Started ssh-agent on ubuntu, added the key into the agent and put the public key to github account. Was able to clone the repo with no password. The only thing I cannot understand, why I still able to clone the repo after reboot or when ssh-agent is down?

1If you don't have a passphrase on your private key, ssh-agent is not necessary. – 1615903 Feb 14 '17 at 06:36
