bit-agent

Unofficial Bitwarden SSH agent.

The icon is a mashup of two Freepik icons.

Why this project?

Bitwarden stands out as one of the premier password managers available today. However, it lacks a critical feature for software developers: the management and injection of SSH keys. This project addresses this significant shortcoming, thereby enabling even advanced users to fully appreciate and be satisfied with this password manager.
