# ssh-agent
Create a new [agent.Agent](https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/agent#Agent) on any type of OS (so including Windows) from any [Go](https://golang.org) application.
## Limitations
When compiled for Windows, it will only support [Pageant](http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.66/htmldoc/Chapter9.html#pageant) as the SSH authentication agent.
## Credits
