Make sure you are using ssh for your repository also

mahtab@mahtab-Lenovo-G50-70:~/my-projects/jenkins-cje-2017$ git remote -v origin git@github.com:eMahtab/jenkins-cje-2017.git (fetch) origin git@github.com:eMahtab/jenkins-cje-2017.git (push)

Don't use https, if your remote is using https then it will keep asking for password, even If you have added the public key to Github and added private key to ssh-agent. Below will always ask for password
