Why doesn't ssh-add work in git?

Question

git

Hello. I generate a pair of ssh keys with the ssh-keygen utility and the keys are generated perfectly, only after that the ssh-add id_rsa command issues: could not open a connection to your authentication agent . As I understand it, some ssh-agent is missing on my machine, or maybe this is not the problem? How to solve this problem?
I use msysgit on windows 8.
Thanks.

Answer 1

For beginners like me, it turns out that this damned ssh-agent needs to be run before ssh-add:
eval `ssh-agent.exe`.

Answer 2

In .bashrc, you need to write the code to start the agent (Step 4)
