# How to use:
# - Place this file into %USERPROFILE%\Documents\WindowsPowershell (or location of choice)
# - Import into your profile.ps1:
#   e.g. ". (Resolve-Path ~/Documents/WindowsPowershell/ssh-agent-utils.ps1)" [without quotes]
# - Enjoy
#
# Note: ensure you have ssh and ssh-agent available on your path, from Git's Unix tools or Cygwin.
