So, you’re trying to create an SSH Tunnel to your remote machine to make some gitlab/github clones.
That’s all fine and well until you don’t want to post your password on to the terminal.
First, look at you ~/.ssh/config file and add the “ForwardAgent yes” to that machines ip.
1

|
Host 35.241.133.24
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
ForwardAgent yes
|
That says to use your local private key as identification when accessing gitlab on your remote’s machine.
Then, just try to check your GitHub/Gitlab connectivity, but first, don’t forget to add you private key to your ssh-agent:

$ ssh-add -K
Identity added: /Users/me/.ssh/id_rsa (/Users/me/.ssh/id_rsa)
$ ssh-add -l
2048 SHA256:vt6nnixlJpupm8H5+cAuIcxy46LAYdYhfo+WL0E /Users/me/.ssh/id_rsa (RSA)
|
Now, inside your machine try to check if you can authenticate on Gitlab/Github

$ ssh -v ubuntu@35.242.133.24
ubuntu@instance-1:~$ ssh-add -l

ubuntu@instance-1:~/load-test$ ssh -T git@github.com
Hi andreffs18! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
ubuntu@instance-1:~/load-test$ ssh -T git@gitlab.com
Welcome to GitLab, @andreffs18!

Now, let’s try to clone our project

|
ubuntu@instance-1:~/load-test$ git pull origin master
Username for 'https://gitlab.com': ^C
|
What?! I don’t want to put my credentials! Isn’t the ForwardAgent for this?
Okay, let’s look at our remotes:

ubuntu@instance-1:~/load-test$ git remote -v
origin https://gitlab.com/andreffs18/load-test.git (fetch)
origin https://gitlab.com/andreffs18/load-test.git (push)
|
⚠️ If you work with HTTPs urls, it will always ask for your username/password!
If you’re correctly using SSH when cloning / setting remotes.
Then make sure you have a ssh-agent to remember your password.
That way, you’ll only enter your passphrase once by terminal session.
If it is still too annoying, then simply set a ssh-key without passphrase.
Just change it:
1
|
$ git remote set-url origin git@gitlab.com:andreffs18/load-test.git
|
And now, on your remote machine you should be able to pull everything from your repo:
