An easy solution to having to put your PIN in too often for SSH is to use the `ControlPersist` option in your SSH client config. This lets you only create a new SSH connection every 30s (or whatever you put), even if you’re doing separate operations. With a low timeout, there’s no realistic security risk (what’s the chance an attacker will only have control of your machine for 30s?).

I do this for GitHub in particular, because of tools that connect to the remote multiple times. Works with anything that uses the actual ssh executable under the hood.
