I would like to disable the password prompt of git, so I thought that I can setup a ssh-key onto my remote repository. But how do I associate it with git on my computer.
Thanks.

It should only ask for a password if you access git through SSH using a password-protected private key.
If that is the case, you need to run an SSH agent, as described in "Remember Password, Git bash under windows".

You should have a look to gitolite: http://sitaramc.github.com/gitolite. There is everything in you need and also explained how to setup. A password less login is also possible for CI server for example.
My experience tells me not to use something else, because a self made solution is too cumbersome.

The OP didn't specifically mention about setting up their own repository - just pushing to a remote one. – richsage Apr 25 '12 at 07:57

He speaks about a "my remote repository" and I think, that is what he needs. – Rick-Rainer Ludwig Apr 25 '12 at 08:10

You can use "start-ssh-agent.cmd" on windows which will use ssh key to authenticate. This can be found in "GIT/cmd" directory.

Very detailed instructions can be found on the GitHub website at Win-Set-Up-Git. GitHub has an interest in making sure those instructions are good; if they are not, let them know as they will want to improve them.
