Fix SSH agent when attaching to existing tmux session

source

  • Create file ~/.ssh/rc with content:

    #!/bin/bash
    
    # Fix SSH auth socket location so agent forwarding works with tmux
    if test "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" ; then
      ln -sf $SSH_AUTH_SOCK $HOME/.ssh/ssh_auth_sock
    fi
    
  • Make it executable

    chmod u+x ~/.ssh/rc
    
  • Specify SSH auth socket by adding this to your ~/.bashrc:

    export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=$HOME/.ssh/ssh_auth_sock
