+Copied from [[https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/534822|SO]]. Using a fixed socket will avoid spinning up extra agents, by checking if the socket is already open. This will have a persistent ssh-agent, so key lifetime is a must.
+<code bash>
+# set SSH_AUTH_SOCK env var to a fixed value
+export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=~/.ssh/ssh-agent.sock
+# test whether $SSH_AUTH_SOCK is valid
+ssh-add -l 2>/dev/null >/dev/null
+# if not valid, then start ssh-agent using $SSH_AUTH_SOCK
+[ $? -ge 2 ] && ssh-agent -a "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" >/dev/null
