Hey, thank you for the insight! Setting SSH_AUTH_SOCK to a fixed path and binding it with -a indeed solves some of the problems. I will add this to the blog post. But then you have still the problem that you have to enter your password during startup for every key, right (even though you dont need it)? The advantage I see with gpg-agent, is that it only asks for a password, the first time the key is needed. Also it solves two problems (gpg and ssh keys) at once. And well, you still have to check if it is not already running. I am not sure this would only apply to WSL though, I use the same approach on my Linux machine.
