Git stored credentials work locally but don't have effect if logged into the machine via SSH
I have a remote macOS machine with git and GitHub Desktop installed, as well as my SSH public key.
If I connect to the machine via Screen Sharing, open a shell window and try e.g. git pull
in my repository it works fine and doesn't ask for the credentials.
However, if I connect to the same machine using SSH and try the same git command, it asks for credentials every time (and works if I give it the correct username and password).
I tried a few suggestions such as this one but everything I do doesn't seem to have any effect when connecting to the machine via SSH.
Is there some sort of a policy of not updating the KeyChain via SSH? Or is it something else?
P.S. I added this to my ~.ssh/config
:
Host *
AddKeysToAgent yes
UseKeychain yes
Doesn't seem to help.
Also, my git URL is https://github.com/...
Add ForwardAgent yes
to your ~/.ssh/config under the UseKeyChain
line
