A wrapper for enabling "SSH agent forwarding" for ssh command

ssh-agent-for-github.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Usage:
#   1. save this gist to some where
#   2. update your ssh command, like:
#       /path/to/ssh-agent-for-github.sh ssh -A user@your-server
#   3. you should able to access github with your ssh key now, try "ssh -T [email protected]" to confirm it

# NOTICE: you may want to change this value!

#!/bin/bash

# This script is used to replace the ssh command in order to let you do `git commit`
# on the server without getting the "Please tell me who you are" error, by forwarding env vars.
#
# Usage:
#   1. append an AcceptEnv line to /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the server, and then restart the sshd
#       AcceptEnv GIT_AUTHOR_NAME GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL GIT_COMMITTER_NAME GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL
#   2. save this gist to the same place as ssh-agent-for-github.sh
#   3. update your ssh command, like:
#       /path/to/ssh-wrapper-for-github.sh user@your-server
