Reminder that you should add this to .ssh/config:

AddKeysToAgent yes

Which will ssh-add keys on the fly as you use them to SSH into things

@sir
I prefer

AddKeysToAgent confirm

this way, each time something tries to use the key, ssh-agent will ask you with ssh-askpass for confirmation.

@Wolf480pl ssh -A is generally a dumb idea

@sir but sometimes you need to rsync or git push between two remote machines

@sir
just to be clear:
I meant the usecase I described, `ssh -A` is useful, and may even be a good choice.

Do you mean you agree with that, or just with the fact that such usecase exists?

Drew DeVault @sir

@Wolf480pl don't read into it
