ssh-agent_fish

ssh-agent automatic startup for fish

Installation

Using fisherman (recommended)

1. Install fisherman https://github.com/fisherman/fisherman

2. Run:

   fisher install https://github.com/virtualxdriver/ssh-agent.fish.git

Classic

Copy-paste the contents of the conf.d/ssh-agent.fish into your .config/fish/config.fish file.

Usage

If a previous instance cannot be found, ssh-agent will be launched on shell startup automatically.

Multiple identities

By default, ssh-agent_fish only loads the default identity.

You can load multiple identities with the __ssh_agent__identities variable, for example:

set -U __ssh_agent__identities id_rsa id_rsa2

Lifetime

By default, identities stay in memory forever.

You can adjust the maximum lifetime of the identities with the __ssh_agent__lifetime variable, for example:

set -U __ssh_agent__lifetime 4h
