1password SSH Agent + WSL2?

Was wondering if any developers has had any luck configuring the newly introduced https://developer.1password.com/docs/ssh for any WSL2 work? This thing is incredible and works seamlessly! Would love to configure it for my WSL instances.

For some context, I've been using https://github.com/buptczq/WinCryptSSHAgent to configure & forward SSH_AUTH_SOCK from WSL to-and-from Windows Certificates. This works only for x509 certs on the PC or on smartcards.

    Hello, is there any news regarding WLS2 support?

    I am trying to make commit signing to work and I am having troubles with both it and with ssh agent

    EDIT: I have managed to make signing work just by upgrading git to the latest version. But in the github commits I do see:

    even if key is added to the settings

    We'll be adding UNIX socket support for Windows too in the future. In the mean time, while we cannot 'officially' recommend it, we've been hearing some good responses about using socat & npiperelay to forward SSH requests to the OpenSSH pipe, see this blog post.
