SSH_AGENT_PID environment variable for Emacs

Hi there,

I use the 1Password SSH Agent for git remotes that I manage using Magit in Emacs. The way I used to set it up is to copy the SSH_AUTH_SOCK and SSH_AGENT_PID environment variables into the Emacs environment when Emacs starts up: https://github.com/bklebe/.emacs.d#macos-configuration. However my 1Password appears to have stopped setting SSH_AGENT_PID, meaning that I need to add the configuration to ~/.ssh/config to get Emacs to find it. I'm running Emacs 28.2. Was I just mistaken about it having set SSH_AGENT_PID at one point? Is something else wrong with my installation?

1Password Version: 8.9.4
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: 12.6

    SSH_AUTH_SOCK should be enough for SSH clients to use the agent. Is that not working for you?

    Hmmm, it appears to have been an initialization order issue...my fault for messing with Emacs. Sorry about that.
