I'm attempting to use 1pass to save a ssh-key for GitHub. I have the key generated and set as a signed key in GitHub.

I edited the .ssh/config file as instructed, and set the SSH_AUTH_SOCK path. I used the auto edit for the .gitconfig file and verified it was correct.

I am on the newest version of git (2.40.1), and my key is in my private vault.

I have read through every support/community page I can find to try to get this to work, so here are some common outputs:

ssh-add -l:
4096 SHA256:rKYhoyJ2RDe9zxiFnB3KPaLefvfjotJeNJXbNn8hXrg Github (RSA) <--- Correct key

ssh -vT git@github.com

(I removed my other personal key, shouldn't make a difference)

I also tried ed25519 instead of RSA but had the exact same issue.

my GitHub origin is set, and I have confirmed that it is correct, so I don't believe that is the issue.

If there is any other information I can provide, let me know. I'm past what I can think of.

  • Hey @scottww! Thanks for reporting this issue and sorry for getting back to you so late.

    I understand that you'd like to use a key stored in 1Password for commit signing. Are you still experiencing the issue you're describing? If so could you run git commit -S --allow-empty -m"Test" in one of your local clones of your GitHub repos and look into the 1Password app's logs?

    You can find the logs by opening your 1Password app and navigating to "Help" -> "Troubleshooting" -> "Open Logs Folder". Can you post the log lines you see that are related to ssh?
