I have an .ssh/config of form Host my-server\n ForwardAgent yes\n .... The agent forwarding does not work when I connect via VSCode and works when I do via Terminal.app
The value of SSH_AUTH_SOCK when connecting through VSCode is something like /tmp/vscode-ssh-auth-sock-881637497; when connecting with ssh my-server in Terminal.app it resembles /tmp/ssh-4zEUMPMAoH/agent.1208460. Swapping the SSH_AUTH_SOCK in the VSCode terminal for /tmp/ssh-4zEUMPMAoH/agent.1208460 seems to work to reintroduce agent forwarding
