Ssh agent won't use passphrase.

Trying to make my ssh save my passphrase for my key, and I've tried to following:

eval "$(ssh-agent)"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

And I am prompted to enter my passphrase, and the "Identity added" confirmation pops up. However I still cannot push to github without having to type in my passphrase.

 
Identity added: /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa (/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa)

My id_rsa.pub is saved as an SSH key in my github account.

Anyone know what to do?
Additionally is it possible to remember the addes passphrase through restarts?
