  • The struggle with SSH key management under Linux
    5 projects | dev.to | 10 Mar 2022
    Jon Cairns wrote a similar article about this problem and presented a solution: A script that tries to find and reuse existing ssh-agents. There are multiple scripts with similar approaches all written in bash: ssh_find_agent, zsh-ssh-agent, and the most popular one: keychain. (And later I also discovered envoy). But being bash scripts, they are hard to read, not really fast, and make debugging a hell. I had used keychain successfully until I encountered a problem that I wasn't able to understand. Also, those tools depend heavily on ssh-agent and ssh-add instead of using the socket directly.
