+title: 'SSH Agent'
+---
+
+Autostarting an ssh-agent service  
+
+## Systemd Service
+A local service works for this. For example `~/.config/systemd/user/ssh-agent.service`  
+```
+[Unit]
+Description=SSH key agent
+
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+Environment=SSH_AUTH_SOCK=%t/ssh-agent.socket
+ExecStart=/usr/bin/ssh-agent -D -a $SSH_AUTH_SOCK
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=default.target
+```
+
+Enable the systemd service  
+`systemctl --user enable --now ssh-agent`  
+
+## Shell environment variable
+The shell needs to know about the ssh-agent. In the case of fish, add this snippet to your config.  
+`set SSH_AUTH_SOCK /run/user/1000/ssh-agent.socket; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK`  
+
+## SSH config
+Modify the `~/.ssh/config` to add new keys automatically.  
+```
+AddKeysToAgent  yes
