If you're on Windows, you can use Pageant to handle SSH authentication automatically. AND it takes it one step further by supporting PIV keys such as Yubikey for authentication! It is soooo freaggin nice to just be able to plug in a USB drive and have full SSH/GIT access to everything I manage. This also helps secure your private key, as its impossible to pull them off of the Yubikey (you can only export the public key, or have the Yubikey sign requests for you internally)
