# WSL Agent Bridge

This utility allows [the Windows port of ssh-agent](https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/wiki)

to be used by WSL programs.

It works by creating a WSL-accessible Unix socket that can be used as `$SSH_AUTH_SOCK`. All

connections are simply redirected to the true ssh-agent process via

[its named pipe](https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/wiki/About-Win32-OpenSSH-and-Design-Details#af_unix-domain-sockets).

## Usage

To use, simply run *wsl-agent-bridge.exe*. No Arguments are required.

By default, the bridge socket is created at the path `$HOME\AppData\Local\ssh-agent.sock`. This path

may be customized by setting the `$SSH_AUTH_SOCK` environment variable (in Windows).

## Installation

To install the program, you need [Git](https://git-scm.com/) and [Rust](https://rustup.rs/).

```powershell

git clone https://github.com/reynoldsbd/wsl-agent-bridge

cd wsl-agent-bridge

cargo install --path .

```

You may also wish to schedule a task to start the bridge at login. Just search for "Task Scheduler"

in the start menu.
