You can add your ssh key to the ssh-agent. This will remember the ssh password so that you no longer have to enter it in each time. See the GitHub documentation on how to do this: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent#adding-your-ssh-key-to-the-ssh-agent

You can use

git config --global credential.helper store

Or execute the following command in a terminal to configure the git credential helper in cache mode,

git config --global credential.helper cache

“gitcredentials” module is used to request these credentials from the user as well as stores these credentials to avoid inputting these credentials repeatedly.

By default, the git credentials in the “store” mode will be stored in the “.git-credentials” file in the user’s home directory (~/.git-credentials)

In Windows the path is C:\Users\<username>\.git-credentials

In Mac and Linux the path is /Users/<username>/.git-credentials

For more information and options you can read this essay or this document on git-scm.com
