Hi lagreca:

Thanks for reaching out about this. By any chance, do you have any additional settings configured by Host *?

I just did a quick test with my config looking like this:
```
Host github.com
User git

Host *
IdentityAgent "~/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/t/agent.sock"
```

With this I was able to run ssh -T github.com, and successfully use my SSH key from the IdentityAgent configuration line, without it affecting the User line specific to Host github.com.

Let me know!

Jack
