It sets up your environment (CMD, PowerShell) for ssh-agent seamlessly

In a world before this program, if you wanted to use ssh or git from Command Prompt or PowerShell,you either had to use startup scripts for the terminals or set the SSH agent variables manually on each instance of terminals. This program just simply make ssh-agent universally available to programs launched from Windows environment. Which means that you can use your precious ssh and git right from Command Prompt or PowerShell.

• ssh-agent-helper.exe: Invoking the program without any parameters will result in running ssh-agent and setting SSH_AUTH_SOCK and SSH_AGENT_PID as current user's environment variables. This will allow ssh-add, ssh or any other programs that consume ssh-agent to conect to it without any further configuration. But you must restart Command Prompt or PowerShell after this to take effect.
• ssh-agent-helper.exe with --register-startup or -r parameter configures ssh-agent to run at the time of Windows startup.
• ssh-agent-helper.exe with -r -a (path for (multiple) id_rsa here) configures ssh-agent to run at Windows startup and add specified SSH keys to the agent. E.g.ssh-agent-helper.exe -r -a %USERPROFILE%\.ssh\id_rsa
• ssh-agent-helper.exe with --unregister-startup or -u will disable run at Windows startup functionality.

You can get the usage information by invoking the program with --help switch.
