SSH Agent Forwarding

[dt]

Would be great to be able to forward local SSH agents. Seems to ignore ForwardAgent yes in ~/.ssh/config

👍 I can't use mosh for this very reason. I need to be able to connect to other machines in the environment I'm accessing plus use my ssh key to push/pull code from github.

This requires tunnelling the agent request from the server back to the client.

I'd be interested in this feature, too.

If #41 ends up being resolved be adding tunnels for arbitrary octet streams, agent forwarding should be trivial to add on top of that.

+1 for being able to ForwardAgent. In our case also critical for getting code to/from GitHub on remote servers.

+1 I need the agent for sudo authentication.

[clneagu]

+1 mostly for github

[avleen]

Hard to resist the urge to say nothing but '+1' to @Mkaysi's comment...

All right, folks, the message has been heard loud and clear! We will put this on the roadmap for a release, probably the one immediately after 1.2. No need to keep +1ing - we will do it.
