Cannot authenticate github with agent forwarding ssh key

[chigozienri]

When I connect to a remote machine with agent forwarding, I cannot use my local ssh keys to authenticate github.

~/.ssh/config looks like:

Host my-remote
    HostName my-remote-url
    User my-user
    ForwardAgent yes

Settings are fully inherited from VS Code, including:

"remote.SSH.enableAgentForwarding": true

I connect to the remote machine with Open Remote - SSH (bundled with Cursor)

When I try to pull/push a github repo, I get:

The same procedure on VS Code lets me authenticate to github.

ssh -vT [email protected] also fails on the remote machine on Cursor but is successful on VS Code.

same here, anyone knows why this fails in Cursor and not in VS Code natively? And how to fix it?

Aggghhh why did Cursor break this? It seems to be overriding $SSH_AUTH_SOCK so nothing I do will forward the agent into the Cursor terminal. The plugins like Github Pull Requests work though but I can't use any git CLI commands :`-(

is a fix on the roadmap ?
