Any other issues stopping the merge? |

Ok, final nit-pick: Please change the commit message from "Added a BATCH file that attempts to authorize SSH keys with the ssh-agent." to "cmd: Add a .bat file that attempts to authorize SSH keys with ssh-agent" (note there's not dot at the end of the sentence). I'll merge then right away. Thanks! |

@mattyclarkson could you make that last change, please? Thank you! |
If double clicked on from explorer it will start a new command prompt but invoking the script from a current command prompt just adds the ssh keys to the prompt.

Done. Sorry for the slow response have been really ill recently and not in reach of a computer. |

@mattyclarkson no need for apologies (but I am sorry that you have been ill, and hope you feel better now). Thanks for your contribution! |

I have written a batch file that starts the ssh-agent and authenticates keys on the system with the ssh-agent in the MS-DOS prompt. I have put the script in the
cmdfolder as that is the one that is added to the native prompt. If the script is double-clicked on in explorer it starts a new prompt else if invoked from a current prompt it will just authenticate the keys.It looks up the ssh-agent in the tasklist to make sure that multiple agents are not started.
It's not perfect, but I wondered if it would be useful to the project. Happy to change it in any way you would like if you would find it a useful addition.
