Host github.com
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/meshmakers

Replace IdentityFile with the name of the correct file.

In this case a sample how it works in 1password.

• Create a new SSH key in 1password
• Use RSA key as type
• Start SSH agent as documented at https://developer.1password.com/docs/ssh/agent/#:~:text=The%201Password%20SSH%20agent%20uses,even%20leaves%20the%201Password%20app.
• Don't forget to execute steps at https://developer.1password.com/docs/ssh/get-started/#step-4-configure-your-ssh-or-git-client to configure git to use SSH agent
