How to forward local keypair in a SSH session?
ssh, ssh-keys
Solution
This turned out to be very simple, complete guide is here Using SSH Forwarding
In essence, you need to create a `~/.ssh/config` file, if it doesn't exist.
Then, add the hosts (either domain name or IP address in the file and set `ForwardAgent yes`)
Sample Code:
Host example.com
ForwardAgent yes
Makes SSH life a lot easier.
Problem
I manually deploy websites through SSH, I manage source code in github/bitbucket. For every new site I'm currently generating a new keypair on the server and adding it to github/bitbucket, so that I can pull changes from server. I came across a feature in capistrano to use local machine's key pair for pulling updates to server, which is `ssh_options[:forward_agent] = true` How can I do something like this and forward my local machine's keypair to the server I'm SSH-ing into, so that I can avoid adding keys into github/bitbucket for every new site.
