+Starting ssh-agent with systemd
+-------------------------------
+
+ssh-agent can be launched through a systemd user unit. The unit is shipped
+as /usr/lib/systemd/user/ssh-agent.service.
+
+It needs to be enabled on a per-user basis by running
+
+systemctl --user enabled ssh-agent
+
+It creates a socket ssh-agent.socket inside the $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR directory,
+so make sure your environment variable $SSH_AUTH_SOCK points to that.
