12-12: Specify version information for Windows and Docker support.Instead of describing the support as "newer", consider specifying the version where Windows and Docker support was added. This makes the documentation more maintainable and helps users understand compatibility better.
-It works across all GitHub Actions virtual environments, including container-based workflows. However, support for Windows and Docker is newer and may have edge cases. +It works across all GitHub Actions virtual environments, including container-based workflows.

71-73: Add a complete example for deployment keys.Consider adding a full example showing the entire process from key generation to usage in the workflow:
To use GitHub deployment keys effectively: 1. Add the repository URL to the key comment when creating it, e.g., `ssh-keygen ... -C "git@github.com:owner/repo.git"`. 2. The action scans key comments and sets up custom Git and SSH configurations for seamless repository access. + +Example: +```bash +# Generate key with repository URL as comment +ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "git@github.com:owner/repo.git" -f deploy_key -N "" + +# In your workflow +- uses: webfactory/ssh-agent@v0.9.0 + with: + ssh-private-key: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_KEY }} +```
79-82: Improve inputs section formatting and details.The inputs section needs consistent punctuation and more detailed descriptions.

43-44: Verify action versions are up to date.
Let's verify that the specified versions are the latest stable releases.
✅ Verification successful
Action versions are up to date
The GitHub Actions used in the workflow are using appropriate versions:
actions/checkout@v4is using the major version v4 (latest is v4.2.2)webfactory/ssh-agent@v0.9.0is using the latest release v0.9.0
Using major version for checkout action (v4) is a good practice as it automatically gets minor updates, while pinning to the exact version for ssh-agent ensures stability.
🏁 Scripts executed
The following scripts were executed for the analysis:
Script:
#!/bin/bash
# Check latest releases for both actions
echo "Checking actions/checkout latest release:"
gh api repos/actions/checkout/releases/latest --jq .tag_name
echo "Checking webfactory/ssh-agent latest release:"
gh api repos/webfactory/ssh-agent/releases/latest --jq .tag_name

🛠️ Refactor suggestion
Add a security considerations section.
Consider adding a section about security best practices, including:
- Key rotation recommendations
- Scope limitation for deploy keys
- Security implications of logging public keys
- Best practices for managing secrets
Example section to add:
## Security Considerations
- Regularly rotate SSH keys used in workflows
- Use deploy keys with minimal repository access
- Consider disabling public key logging for sensitive deployments
- Never commit SSH keys to the repository
- Use repository secrets with appropriate access restrictions

# `ssh-agent` GitHub Action
This action simplifies SSH key management in GitHub workflows by:
- Starting the `ssh-agent`.
- Exporting the `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` environment variable.
- Loading one or more private SSH keys into the agent.
It works across all GitHub Actions virtual environments, including container-based workflows. However, support for Windows and Docker is newer and may have edge cases. If these environments work well for you, consider leaving feedback [here](https://github.com/webfactory/ssh-agent/pull/17).
This action also supports multiple GitHub deployment keys, mapping them to repositories via SSH key comments.
## Why Use This Action?
GitHub Actions have access only to the repository they run for. If your workflow requires access to private repositories, you can:
1. Create an SSH key with the necessary permissions.
2. Use this action to load the key into the `ssh-agent`.
With this setup, `git clone` commands using SSH URLs will work seamlessly, and other `ssh` operations will also utilize the key.
---
## How to Use
### Step 1: Set Up Your SSH Key
1. Generate a new SSH key with the required access. Avoid using personal keys—create one dedicated to GitHub Actions.
2. Ensure the private key has no passphrase.
3. Add the public key to the target private repository as a "Deploy Key".
4. Save the private key as a GitHub secret:
- Go to your repository's **Settings > Secrets**.
- Add a new secret, e.g., `SSH_PRIVATE_KEY`, and paste the private key contents.
### Step 2: Add the Action to Your Workflow
Add the following to your workflow file:
```yaml
jobs:
my_job:
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: webfactory/ssh-agent@v0.9.0
with:
ssh-private-key: ${{ secrets.SSH_PRIVATE_KEY }}To customize the SSH agent socket path, use the ssh-auth-sock input.
Using Multiple Keys
You can load multiple SSH keys by passing them as secrets:
- uses: webfactory/ssh-agent@v0.9.0
with:
ssh-private-key: |
${{ secrets.FIRST_KEY }}
${{ secrets.SECOND_KEY }}Note: SSH servers may abort after trying a certain number of invalid keys. Use GitHub deployment keys with comments to ensure the right key is used.
Deployment Key Support
To use GitHub deployment keys effectively:
- Add the repository URL to the key comment when creating it, e.g.,
ssh-keygen ... -C "git@github.com:owner/repo.git". - The action scans key comments and sets up custom Git and SSH configurations for seamless repository access.
Inputs
ssh-private-key(required): Private SSH keys as secrets.ssh-auth-sock: Custom path for the SSH agent socket.log-public-key: Defaults totrue. Set tofalseto suppress public key logging.ssh-agent-cmd,ssh-add-cmd,git-cmd: Optional paths for custom binaries.
Exported Variables
SSH_AUTH_SOCK: Path to the agent socket.SSH_AGENT_PID: Process ID of the agent.
Known Limitations
- Job-specific: Keys are only available in the job where this action is used.
- Key format: Keys must be in PEM format. Convert using:
ssh-keygen -p -f path/to/key -m pem
Special Use Cases
- Container Workflows: Ensure SSH tools are installed in your container.
- Docker Builds: Pass the agent socket with:
ssh: default=${{ env.SSH_AUTH_SOCK }}
- Windows/Rust/Cargo: Enable
git-fetch-with-clifor private dependencies.

8-8: Consider using a more permanent feedback link.The feedback link currently points to a specific PR (webfactory#17) which might get closed or merged in the future. Consider linking to:
- The repository's issues page with a specific label
- A dedicated feedback/discussions section
- The repository's discussions tab
-If these environments work well for you, consider leaving feedback [here](https://github.com/webfactory/ssh-agent/pull/17). +If these environments work well for you, consider leaving feedback in our [issues](https://github.com/webfactory/ssh-agent/issues) or [discussions](https://github.com/webfactory/ssh-agent/discussions).
40-40: Add a note about version pinning.While the example shows a specific version (
v0.9.0), it would be helpful to add a note about version pinning best practices and the implications of using different version references (@v0.9.0vs@mainvs@master).Add this note after the example:
> **Note:** We recommend pinning to a specific version tag (e.g., `@v0.9.0`) for stability. Using `@main` or `@master` might lead to unexpected changes when we release updates.
61-61: Add an example of key comments usage.The note about using deployment keys with comments would be clearer with a practical example.
Add this example after the note:
Example of generating keys with repository-specific comments: ```bash # For the first repository ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "git@github.com:org/repo1.git" -f repo1_key # For the second repository ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "git@github.com:org/repo2.git" -f repo2_key--- `75-78`: **Fix formatting inconsistencies in lists.** There are inconsistent trailing spaces and punctuation in several list items.
