Apparently you created id_rsa key pair with a passphrase. Passphrase is
like an additional password protection layer on your ssh key. I don't know
how did you create it. But you can always create a new one (you should
delete the old one before you create a new one) using the shell command
'ssh-keygen'. It asks for a passphrase, just push enter for an empty
passphrase (twice). You also have to update the ssh public key
(id_rsa.pub) on github by supplying the new public key (id_rsa.pub).
There are some implications you should be aware of:
* if you delete id_rsa*, you cannot use any ssh authorization that relies
on this key any more (that's why you have to update on GH). From the what
you write (... created 2 days ago) I guess you do not use these keys
elsewhere but I may be wrong.
* if you supply empty passphrase, you bypass the optional extra security
layer. I think this is OK for open source software development on your
personal computer but your preferences/situation may differ.
* You cannot use the same keys with passphrase if they are created without
one. This is likely not an issue, but if it turns out to be a problem, you
can either add passphrase to the default keys, or create another set of
keys, passphrase protected.
Cheers,
Ott
