Tower git client SSH integration not working

Hi all. Could i please ask for some assistance getting 1Password SSH to work with Tower (git-tower.com). I have 1Password SSH installed and working with Github Desktop, but whenever I try to commit using Tower, I get an fatal: either user.signingkey or gpg.ssh.defaultKeyCommand needs to be configured error.


1Password Version: 1Password for Mac 8.9.12 (80912010)
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: 13.1 (22C65)
Browser:_ Chrome

Nevermind... I have it working now. I needed to add a plist file for Tower, with the path to the 1Password sock. Would be helpful if this was in the docs for other users.

Hi @leecolarelli:

Would you mind elaborating a bit on the plist configuration you mentioned? I don't see it mentioned in the Tower documentation, and I'd be happy to add it to our documentation.

Perhaps that property list is rather similar to the one the 1Password does document?

We offer seamless integration with 1Password starting from Tower 10.2 for Mac. The process should be quite straightforward ☺️
