Using SSHKeychain’s key agent in terminal/shell

I’m not sure why I had to do this even if I told SSHKeychain to manage my environment variables, but anyway, to use SSHKeychain’s key agent in a shell, you do this:

Look up the socket location in preferences, it should look like this:

Preferences - General
Uploaded with plasq‘s Skitch!

and set the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable in your shell to that location, you then should be good to go.
