### 2.5 Examples

It is important to set the environment variable `GPG_TTY` in your login shell, for example in the `~/.bashrc` init script:

      export GPG_TTY=$(tty)

If you enabled the Ssh Agent Support, you also need to tell ssh about it by adding this to your init script:

    unset SSH_AGENT_PID
    if [ "${gnupg_SSH_AUTH_SOCK_by:-0}" -ne $$ ]; then
      export SSH_AUTH_SOCK="$(gpgconf --list-dirs agent-ssh-socket)"
    fi
