When you're in the guest VM you might find that you want to clone a git repo or connect to a server as you would normally do on the host VM, using a ssh key, however your keys will not be available, and having to copy them to the guest OS is messy, so we enable an alternative.
Parrot sets up ssh agent forwarding for all users in the guest VM. This means that if you do an ssh or git command to a remote server that can accept public key authentication, the authentication request will be forwarded to the host machine. If host machine will then match the request and pass the response back.
This feature allows you to clone or connect to servers on the guest with minimum fuss.
