What I have

Private GitHub repository: a NodeJS private module/package.
SSH private-public keys created with ssh-keygen:
- Private key stored at C:\Users\USER\.ssh\id_rsa.
- Public key
  
  I want to avoid this popup. Instead, the id_rsa SSH private key password must be request.
  
  If I execute a command using git utility like this:
```
git clone [email protected]:USER/REPO.git
```
  the SSH private key is used:
```
Cloning into 'REPO'...
Enter passphrase for key '/c/Users/USER/.ssh/id_rsa':

  you must understand where your git config file lives https://www.theserverside.com/blog/Coffee-Talk-Java-News-Stories-and-Opinions/Where-system-global-and-local-Windows-Git-config-files-are-saved
  
  after you have identified where your .gitconfig file lives give it values similar to below
```
[user]
    email = [email protected]
    name = My Name John Doe
[color]
    ui = true
[push]
    default = simple
[alias]
    co = checkout

[url "ssh://[email protected]/"]
    insteadOf = https://github.com/


[core]
    sshcommand=ssh -i ~/.ssh/my_ssh_key_name

[pull]
    rebase = false
```
  then save above gitconfig file ... assure you update above with actual values especially the location of your ssh key file
  
  now engage your ssh key by issing
```
ssh-add ~\.ssh\my_ssh_key_filename
```
