| Error: ssh-add: illegal option -- K | This error means your version of `ssh-add` does not support macOS keychain integration, which allows you to store your passphrase in the keychain. |
|
|
The -K option is in Apple's standard version of ssh-add, which stores the passphrase in your keychain for you when you add an ssh key to the ssh-agent. If you have installed a different version of ssh-add, it may lack support for -K.
Solving the issue
To add your SSH private key to the ssh-agent, you can specify the path to the Apple version of ssh-add:
$ /usr/bin/ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa
{% note %}
Note: {% data reusables.ssh.add-ssh-key-to-ssh-agent %}
{% endnote %}
