Error: ssh-add: illegal option -- apple-use-keychain

Neste artigo

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 --apple-use-keychain 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 --apple-use-keychain.

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 --apple-use-keychain ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

Notes:

  • The --apple-use-keychain option is in Apple's standard version of ssh-add. In MacOS versions prior to Monterey (12.0), use -K instead of --apple-use-keychain.
  • Se você criou sua chave com um nome diferente ou está adicionando uma chave existente que tenha outro nome, substitua id_rsa no comando pelo nome do arquivo de chave privada.
