| # After putting THIS file at ~/.ssh/rc add the following to your Tmux or Screen confs | |
| # .tmux.conf - set-environment -g 'SSH_AUTH_SOCK' ~/.ssh/ssh_auth_sock | |
| # .screenrc - setenv SSH_AUTH_SOCK $HOME/.ssh/ssh_auth_sock | |
| # Now add the following to your ~/.ssh/config to prevent /tmp reapers from getting it | |
| # Host * | |
| # IdentityAgent ~/.ssh/ssh_auth_sock | |
| # Multiple Putty sessions issues? Enable `connection->ssh->Share SSH connetions` | |
| # This is the actual code. If symlink dosn't point at a socket and env variable is valid socket, make a symlink | |
| if [ ! -S ~/.ssh/ssh_auth_sock ] && [ -S "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" ]; then | |
| ln -sf $SSH_AUTH_SOCK ~/.ssh/ssh_auth_sock | |
