ssh-agent plugin
This plugin starts automatically ssh-agent to set up and load whichever
credentials you want for ssh connections.
To enable it, add ssh-agent to your plugins:
plugins=(... ssh-agent)
Instructions
IMPORTANT: put these settings before the line that sources oh-my-zsh
To enable agent forwarding support add the following to your zshrc file:
zstyle :omz:plugins:ssh-agent agent-forwarding on
To load multiple identities use the identities style, For example:
zstyle :omz:plugins:ssh-agent identities id_rsa id_rsa2 id_github
To set the maximum lifetime of the identities, use the lifetime style.
The lifetime may be specified in seconds or as described in sshd_config(5)
(see TIME FORMATS). If left unspecified, the default lifetime is forever.
zstyle :omz:plugins:ssh-agent lifetime 4h
