Yep, I added this section to my ~/.bashrc and disabled the IdentityAgent setting in ~/.ssh/config on both of my machines:

We do this by setting up SSH_AUTH_SOCK, but only for local sessions (SSH_TTY

is unset); if SSH_TTY is set, however, assume that it's a remote session, and

export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=~/.1password/agent.sock
fi
```

Would be nice if this use case was covered, maybe in https://developer.1password.com/docs/ssh/agent/advanced or something?
