What issue or error are you experiencing?
After cloning my computer to a new one with previously working Local installation, I received connection errors and inability to pull or push sites from WP Engine. Consequent attempts to re-pull a site showed error: ‘Local couldn’t load the file list!’
After much troubleshooting it turns out connection was having a conflict with Line 3 of what was otherwise my default SSH config record:
Host *
AddKeysToAgent yes
UseKeychain yes <-- this line causes error
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
I assume this is because I was optionally adding ssh keys for wpengine such as the below, otherwise it wouldn’t even reach out to the config file?
Host *.ssh.wpengine.net
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/wpengine_ed25519
IdentitiesOnly yes
Anyway, despite the fact I’ve found a workaround for now, I’m keen to understand why there’s suddenly a conflict here when it worked fine a few days ago with same config. Is there something I need to change in the syntax or order to re-enable my default fallback ssh key of id_rsa?
What steps can be taken to replicate the issue? Feel free to include screenshots, videos, etc

Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.
