+1 A:

It's probably the password for your server. Try setting shared keys between the machine you are deploying from and the destination servers.

Here is a tutorial for it. Covers how to do it using unix and windows. http://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~dhsu/ssh_public_key_howto.html

Answer 2

+2 A:

Github is probably asking for your password because it's not getting your ssh key when connecting from your server. Set up agent forwarding in your ~/.ssh/config:

Host my_deploy_server
  Hostname 1.2.3.4
  User deploy
  ForwardAgent yes

Host *
  ForwardAgent no

my deploy_server in this case is my desktop where I am deploying from?

No, this is a convenience name for the server you're deploying to: name it whatever you like. This also lets you do `ssh myserver` instead of having to spell out `ssh [email protected]`

Don't you also need `ssh_options[:forward_agent] = true` in the deploy script? or is that for something else?

zetetic is right, you can use `ssh_options[:forward_agent]` in your deploy script as well, but that only sets it for capistrano, not when you connect directly using ssh.
