Thanks for opening this pull request! A GitHub docs team member should be by to give feedback soon. In the meantime, please check out the contributing guidelines. |

The ssh-agent man page adequately addresses ways to get an agent set up. I am opposed to the merging of this pull request. |

@RDxR10 Thanks so much for opening a PR! I'll get this triaged for review ✨ |
|
Let me know if it needs any further clarification. |

Thanks for taking the time, @RDxR10, but our docs are purposefully opinionated. We document one way to accomplish a task and only mention alternatives if there's a compelling reason to do so. I'm going to close this PR, but let me know if there's further explanation for why this alternative is important to document. |

@lecoursen the reason is that depending on the os or Linux environment, the command may vary. |
Thanks for clarifying! From those links, it seems that there are more than two possibilities. We can't list them all, so we should instead clarify in |
