SSH Agent in macOS Sierra

I upgraded to macOS Sierra this weekend. The upgrade was mostly painless; I only had to switch from Karabiner to Karabiner Elements to customize my keyboard.

But when trying to update my remote development environment this morning, I ran into the first issue: ssh-agent didn’t seem to work anymore. My keys were not added to my keychain when accessing my remote sandbox with ssh -A mysandbox.

After a bit of googling, I found my answer. To fix the issue, and make sure I could use my keys even when connected to a remote sandbox, I added the following to my .ssh/config file:

Host *
        IdentityFile ~/.ssh/name_of_my_private_key_file
        AddKeysToAgent yes

Now on to the next problem!
