ssh - Git 公玥值得加一个 phrase 吗?

Question

从前为 Git 生成公玥的时候, 为了方便都用空的 phrase, 用久了挺方便的
最近重装时候重新生成了一遍, 但是觉得密码好麻烦
加密的功能有多强? 方便和保密之间怎样权衡?

Answer 1

The passphrase of the private key is to protect your private key file. After all, anyone who can access your computer may steal this file and then use your identity to log in to the server.

If you don’t want to enter the phrase of the private key every time, you can use ssh-agent.
