how to make windows remember my passphrase key?

Question

I'm new to using git. Each time I want to push my file to github, it's always show me notification to enter my passphrase. Ex: Enter passphrase for key '/c/Users/.ssh/id_rsa':

I want my git remember the passphrase for me. How should I possibly do that on windows 7? I've already read the help page here http://help.github.com/ssh-key-passphrases/. It seems only available for Mac / Linux.

Thanks for helping.

Solution

I believe if you use msysgit then you can install (or maybe it comes already installed) openssh.

With openssh you can use the command line program ssh-add to add you key once and remember it:

ssh-add /c/Users/.ssh/id_rsa

So great answer with expired links. Was it so much work to paste the text here? Now it's useless: Error 503 Service Unavailable

It only remembers this for a session
