category: Net sdesc: "SSH agent for Cygwin/MSYS that links to PuTTY's Pageant" ldesc: "ssh-pageant is a tiny tool for Windows that allows you to use SSH keys from PuTTY's Pageant in Cygwin and MSYS shell environments. You can use ssh-pageant to automate SSH connections from those shells, which is useful for services built on top of SSH, like SFTP file transfers or pushing to secure git repositories. ssh-pageant works like ssh-agent, except that it leaves the key storage to PuTTY's Pageant. It sets up an authentication socket and prints the environment variables, which allows OpenSSH connections to use it." homepage: https://github.com/cuviper/ssh-pageant
