I am using Awesome Window Manager

How can I permanently add private keys with password?

Inspired by the answer here I have added the private keys in ~/.ssh/config

Contents of ~/.ssh/config:

IdentityFile 'private key full path'

Permissions of ~/.ssh/config: 0700

But it doesn't work for me.

If I manually add the key in every session, it works but I'm looking for a more elegant way (not in .bashrc)
