On Windows 10 that is well configured with native OpenSSH's ssh-agent, how to have an implementation of git use the ssh-agent configured?

Question

I have configured Native Windows 10 OpenSSH like described here: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/windows-10-ssh-vs-putty/

Also I have started as a service ssh-agent, added private key, and between restart my private key password's are remembered.

So mainly, I can do the following immediately after a restart without a prompt: ssh -T [email protected]

However, I don't know how to get any implementation of 'git' to delegate the ssh work to the Windows native ssh-agent, so that I can execute without any prompt a clone like: git clone [email protected]:SandboxAtHoopSoft/create-aws-accounts.git
