Notes
SSH Agent Forwarding
SSH agent forwarding allows use of private, local SSH key on a remote server without needing to explicitly transfer or install the key on the remote server.
Enable forwarding in ~/.ssh/config
e.g.:
Host example.remote.server..com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/my_key_rsa
ForwardAgent yes
Register/add the key to be forwarded:
$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/my_key_rsa
Connect, with formwarding enabled:
$ ssh -v example.remote.server..com
