Using SSH agent forwarding
SSH agent forwarding allows you to use your local SSH keys on a remote host, when using it to connect to yet another host.
You can either define this in your ~/.ssh/config file with a host specific section:
Host example.com ForwardAgent yes
Do not simply forward to all hosts with
Host *, as this will make your SSH keys available to all hosts you connect to.
You can also use it as a one off in your SSH command:
ssh -o ForwardAgent=Yes user@server
