"Could not open a connection to your authentication agent"

ssh-agent.md

SSH authentication agent does not automatically start when using it from a remote server. This results in the following error message:

$ git pull
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
$ ssh-add ~/my-ssh-key.pem
Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.

To fix it requires manually starting ssh-agent:

$ eval `ssh-agent -s`
Agent pid 13442
$ ssh-add ~/my-ssh-key.pem
Identity added: /home/user/my-ssh-key.pem (/home/user/my-ssh-key.pem)
$ git pull

Perfect for me, thank you!

echo Agent pid 1453;

Thank you very much for your contribution @mvneves

I use access via VS Code, does anyone have a solution so that when I load VS Code it ​​already runs these commands?

I tried .bash_profile and other approaches but without success.

Do you have any examples?
