I have two github account, one for work and another personal. I have generated two rsa key and put those rsa to the respected account. these are working fine

But everytime I had to run this command ssh-add ~/.ss/my_work or ssh-add ~/.sss/my_personal

My questions is why I have to run this ssh-add command every time once I open new terminal and pull/push something?

I tried to solve it by updating ~/.ssh/config file but it doesn't work, I found lots of solution on StackOverflow but those are not solved my cases

I followed this: https://gist.github.com/alejandro-martin/aabe88cf15871121e076f66b65306610

Yet, I had to run ssh-add command to add the ssh private key of the repo? why it is not adding permantly?

For one reop, it doesn't requires to run ssh-add command but another repo, always had to run, otherwise, I am getting following error:

ERROR: Repository not found.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

I followed this too: Multiple GitHub Accounts & SSH Config

The situation is same, they work only when I run eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" and then ~/.ssh/my_work

Can anyone please help me to get it done? what is the problem? why I have to every time add ssh-add command for another repo?

You need this only if you have created encrypted private keys (keys protected by a passphrase).

If you did not enter a passphrase when creating said keys, you would not need ssh-agent at all.

And if you need ssh-agent, you could enter your passphrase once when opening your session, and then keep that session open for your subsequent push/pull/clone operations. Without having to enter the passphrase again, since, in that session, the ssh-agent would have cached said passphrase.

You can automate launching the ssh-agent.
