Marc Cornellà 53c3567cc3 Force ssh-agent output to use bourne-style syntax
On systems where the shell cannot be changed because of a strict
security policy, ssh-agent will use the syntax of whatever the
default $SHELL is.
For instance, if the default shell is tcsh, ssh-agent will use the
c-shell style (setenv).

This change forces ssh-agent to use bourne-style syntax since that
has to be later interpreted by zsh. Consequently, the environment
file will contain `export' statements from now on (instead of
`setenv').

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

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
