    I tried git-bug a few months ago, and <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;git-bug&#x2F;git-bug&#x2F;issues&#x2F;1023" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;git-bug&#x2F;git-bug&#x2F;issues&#x2F;1023 is a showstopper.

    There is a workaround, but it isn&#x27;t pretty. You can push&#x2F;pull bugs and identities with normal, ssh-agent-less git commands: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gist.github.com&#x2F;parasyte&#x2F;80ef925d4b01216f6bcb051356faffb9" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gist.github.com&#x2F;parasyte&#x2F;80ef925d4b01216f6bcb051356f...

      Isn&#x27;t &quot;show stopper&quot; a bit dramatic? What is the big problem with an SSH agent? If security is a problem you should probably store your SSH keys on a HSM like a Nitrokey or Yubikey. In which case you need an agent.

        you don&#x27;t need an agent for hsm.

        also, don&#x27;t know a good security researcher who uses agents (some even use ssh config to limit which keys are even tried per domain)

        ssh config hacks are also a must if you have, say, two or more identities to github.com for example.
