# zsh-ssh-agent

A bloat free utility plugin for managing `ssh-agent` in `zsh`. This plugin automatically starts and manages `ssh-agent` whenever a new ternimal session starts. After running `zsh-ssh-agent`, you only need to `ssh-add` your keys once. The plugin will handle the rest.

### Usage

To use `zsh-ssh-agent`, simply run the following command:

```zsh

zsh-ssh-agent

```

### Installation

To install `zsh-ssh-agent` using `zap`, a minimal zsh plugin manager, add the following line to your `.zshrc` file:

```zsh

plug 'twfksh/zsh-ssh-agent'

```

### Autostart

To ensure `ssh-agent` starts automatically when you open a new terminal session, add the following line to your `~/.zshrc` file:

```zsh

zsh_ssh_agent

```

### Configuration

For seamless integration with `ssh-agent`, add the following line to `~/.ssh/config` file:

```

AddKeysToAgent yes

```

With this option enabled keys used by `ssh` will be automatically added to the `ssh-agent`, no need to call `ssh-add` everytime.

### Note

Inspired by `ivakyb/fish_ssh_agent` that I've been using on fish shell.
