Preface

you may come across the situation, were you are not quite sure if your ssh-agent is using your gpg-agent or not. Here are two commands to check if evertyhing is correctly set up or not.

Example

1. Check environment variables:

echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK

• If the path contains gpg-agent, SSH is using the GPG agent.

If the output contains a path which includes gpg-agent, then ssh is using the gpg-agent.

1. Check if the gpg-agent daemon is running:

gpg-agent --daemon

gpg-agent: a gpg-agent is already running - not starting a new one

1. List all your your current public keys:

ssh-add -L
