I have an SSH key setup for git (using github) that works great.
However – I recently started working on a certain directory (with a few git repositories under it) and on those repositories – each action I do – requires me to use a username and password.

Any other directory – everything works well.

I would add that the repositories there used to work on svn and now we’re using git with them (in case it has any relevance). I did however try re-cloning and removing all svn files – makes no difference.

Another thing I noticed – is the submodules also require username and password, but a submodule of the submodule works without them.

I’m really lost on it and it’s really annoying – would appriciate help.

    Well , After looking into it – I realised that it was not a matter of directory – but new and old repositories.

    It seemed like it just broke at some point. (Perhaps upgrading to Mountain lion , perhaps installing new git myself outside of Xcode)

    I decided to go to our good friends at github (with their great FAQ).
    I just re-did the following setting up tutorial and it now works like a charm:

    Hopefully this helps someone in the future with the same annoying issue.
