Description-en: copy a secret key from GnuPG's gpg-agent to OpenSSH's ssh-agent
agent-transfer is a simple utility to extract a secret RSA or Ed25519
key from GnuPG's gpg-agent and send it to a running ssh-agent. This
is useful for those who prefer the runtime semantics and behavior of
OpenSSH's ssh-agent, but whose secret keys are held in long-term
storage by GnuPG's gpg-agent.
.
This tool comes from the monkeysphere project.
