[Bug]: Keeps on asking to unlock the SSH keys even when doing nothing (when using 1Password ssh agent) #1190
Description
Before submitting
- I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
- I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.
Area
apps/desktop
Steps to reproduce
I'm using 1Password ssh agent to manage my SSH keys. I have the SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.d9BBo3ZAPp/Listeners environment variable. The project I have in T3 Code uses Github with ssh authentication.
Expected behavior
The app doesn't try to use the SSH keys, unless the user/agent explicitly pushes/pulls to git.
Actual behavior
When I open T3 Code and do nothing, the app tries to access my SSH keys, which opens up the following Touch ID prompt. Even if I cancel it, T3 will still ask it again and again every few seconds, which is driving me crazy.
Is there a way to prevent T3 from trying to access my SSH keys? They should only be used if I explicitly try to push/pull to github.
Impact
Major degradation or frequent failure

This might be related to #356 , which also describes background git fetches triggering ssh agent authorization prompts.
As a workaround in my case, approving the fetch once stops the repeated prompts, at least until the app is closed and reopened, or until 1Password locks again

its also is a bit sketchy because there is nothing telling me what the ssh key / agent is used for -.-
