Sorry, I meant ssh agent of course.... I use the gpg agent as ssh agent
provider here, but for you probably ssh agent is the solution. I am
using peagant from the putty family for ssh connectivity to github on
intellj.
Quick google gave many hints, one is here

Of course, that is the way how ssh works, what did you expect? Every
file is copied via scp, thus every time a login session is started and
thus your password asked.

You need ssh agent ;-)
