I spent a lot of time with git well and once, when I push my commit - I had: enter passphrase for key /.ssh/id_rsa' . Read a lot about solution of it but finally can't find correct answer. Does anybody know how to fix it and what happens?

Answer 1

Looks like you have set passphrase for you ssh-key:

demas@ubuntu:/mnt/coursera$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/demas/.ssh/id_rsa): 
Created directory '/home/demas/.ssh'.
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
