Re: [boost] [git-help] clone asks for passphrase for every library

Hello,

I'm trying out git + modular boost for the first time.

When I try to clone the repository as described here [1], I run into a problem where the recursive clone process asks me for my SSH key's passphrase for every submodule (library) that it is checking out.

Is there a way to avoid this?

Nathan, On modern Linux versions will automatically cache a passphrase. If this is not happening, check your distribution docs about automatically starting ssh-agent. On Windows, you need to either start key agent beforehand, or somehow add it to autostart. The putty suite has the agent called 'pageant'. - Volodya
