With a passphrase protected private key, only those who know the passphrase can use it. If you want to enter the passphrase only once per session, you can use "ssh-agent" to remember the passphrase for the duration of a session. $ eval $(ssh-agent) $ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa $ git clone username@hostname:repopath If you use http, you can refer to https://help.github.com/articles/caching-your-github-password-in-git/ for hints on "credential helpers".
