+When initiating an SSH connection to the embedded platform, use the '''-A''' option with the ssh command:
-bash
+<syntaxhighligh lang=bash>
-Copy code
 ssh -A user@embedded_platform
+</syntaxhighlight>
 This flag tells SSH to forward the SSH agent connection.
-'''Verify Connection on the Embedded Platform:'''
+====Verify Connection on the Embedded Platform:====
 Once logged into the embedded platform, you can verify that the SSH agent forwarding works by listing the available SSH keys with:
-bash
+<syntaxhighligh lang=bash>
-Copy code
 ssh-add -l
+</syntaxhighligh>
 If successful, you should see the keys from your host machine listed.
-'''Perform Operations Requiring SSH Keys:'''
+====Perform Operations Requiring SSH Keys:====
 With SSH agent forwarding enabled, you can perform git operations or connect to other servers using the forwarded SSH keys just as you would from your host machine.
 == Conclusion ==
 SSH agent forwarding provides a secure and convenient way to manage SSH keys, especially in environments involving shared or embedded platforms. By leveraging this technique, developers can maintain a high level of security and efficiency in their workflows.
