Third, Add your keys to GitHub by going into account settings.

Lastly, Add your keys to the `ssh-agent`:

$ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
$ ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Optionally, you can configure your ssh keys in ~/.ssh/config:

```
Host *
AddKeysToAgent yes
UseKeychain yes
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
```

The configuration above will add your ssh key to the ssh-agent and store your passphrase in the keychain, so that you are not asked for it each time you use the key.
