This method was not working for me with latest Ubuntu 18.04 and Windows 10
Errors connecting to SSH agent still occur

FYI - looks to be a bug

microsoft/WSL#3183

According to the discussion in microsoft/WSL#3183, the issue with ssh-agent on Ubuntu 18.04 is fixed in insiders build 17704. The fix will be pushed out to regular Windows builds as part of the Fall 2018 update. In the meantime, one reported work-around is to retrieve the ssh-agent binary for Ubuntu 16.04 from the Ubuntu site and use that on 18.04 for now. In #3183 there is a recipe by @rcarmo how to do that.
