remote - containers with Docker Desktop not forwarding ssh-agent from Git for Windows #6719
Description
- VSCode Version: 1.63.2 or 1.67.1 (same behavior and errors for both)
- Local OS Version: Windows 10 Entreprise 1809 17763.1935
- Remote OS Version: Docker Desktop 2.1.7.0 / engine 19.03.5 (with HyperV)
- Remote Extension/Connection Type: Remote - Containers 0.209.6 and 0.234.0 (same behavior and errors for both)
- Git for Windows 2.23.0, ssh version OpenSSH_8.0p1, OpenSSL 1.1.1c 28 May 2019
- Logs:
Start script in git bash: ssh-agent sh -c 'ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa; ./code.exe'

Starting a devcontainer using Docker Desktop give this message:
[17741 ms] Start: Launching Remote-Containers helper.
[17741 ms] ssh-agent: SSH_AUTH_SOCK in container (/tmp/vscode-ssh-auth-b40f9ddddb69d8c4a063d651337d9b53229c20df.sock) forwarded to local host (C:/Users/user/AppData/Local/Temp/ssh-EXqkeSdl9JlB/agent.2428).
C:/Users/user/AppData/Local/Temp/ssh-EXqkeSdl9JlB/agent.2428 match the SSH_AUTH_SOCK set by ssh-agent.
When trying to ssh-add -l in a terminal inside the devcontainer, I get this error:
root@86b574330cde:/workspaces/repository# ssh-add -l
error fetching identities: communication with agent failed
And at the same time, the devcontainer logs shows this:

Steps to Reproduce:
- Have a SSH key as
~/.ssh/id_rsain Git bash for Windows - Start Code.exe from a git bash console using
ssh-agent sh -c 'ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa; ./code.exe' - Check that the ssh-agent is working correctly using the Powershell terminal in VSCode and running
ssh-add -l, it shows the added key - Open a devcontainer with a Docker Desktop container
- Open the terminal and run
ssh-add -l
I expect Git for Windows' ssh-agent to be forwarded inside the devcontainer as it is with Powershell OpenSSH Win32 ssh-agent.
I can't use the later because the ssh-agent Windows' service is disabled by the enterprise and I don't have admin rights to change that.
