Description
Spawn and maintain multiple ssh-agents across terminals
Long description
The SSH agent is usually spawned by running eval $(ssh-agent), however this
spawns a new SSH agent at every invocation. This project provides an
ssh-agent wrapper called ssh-agents that is capable of spawning an SSH
agent and caching the environment variables for later invocation.
Features
- One SSH agent across all terminals
- Add all un-encrypted SSH keys to the agent upon spawning. Please note
that encrypted SSH keys can only be added via ssh-add after having
started the agent.
- Ability to have different keys in different agents for security purposes.
- Multiple SSH agents
- To use multi-SSH agents, start ssh agent with the --name flag. The
given name is expected to be a folder under ~/.ssh/name containing the
keys to include in the agent.
