Maybe check if you have an SSH agent working and running.
Also check if your ssh key is loaded in the agent ssh-add -L

@cefect Check if you have added a SSH key on GitHub website under your profile. https://github.com/settings/keys. If so, make sure you are using the SSH URL when making the connection to origin. Should be [email protected] instead of https://github.com

Thanks @wsdookadr, keys are added:
\

Thanks @LarsPeterson,
key added to profile:

not sure what you mean by 'using the SSH URL when making the connection to origin', maybe this?

note I'm only trying to get rid of the key passphrase prompt (the ssh keys are working in that I don't have to enter username and password each time... just passphrase)

@cefect

Oh whoops just read your comment again. You need to generate a new key and skip the passphrase part. Just don't enter anything. Then go through the whole process again, add to profile, etc.

thanks for that!

This sort of configuration appears to be required if you want to use PHPStorm to clone from VCS via WSL.

 ssh-add {rsa_file} 

It works.

@rohitchormale, you're genius!!!

@rohitchormale thank you!

@rohitchormale thanks!
