I cannot for the life of me figure out why my SSH config is forwarding the wrong key. I have two keys, we'll call them home_rsa and work_rsa. I have done the following:
eval `ssh-agent`
ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/home_rsa
ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/work_rsa
Here is my ~/.ssh/config file:
Host home
ForwardAgent yes
HostName home.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/home_rsa
IdentitiesOnly yes
User home
Host work
ForwardAgent yes
HostName work.com
IdentitiesOnly yes
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/work_rsa
User work
Host bitbucket
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/home_rsa
Host bitbucket-work
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/work_rsa
Host bitbucket*
HostName bitbucket.com
User git
When I run the following…
ssh work
ssh git@bitbucket.org
…Bitbucket reports that I'm using my home user, though I'm clearly logged into my work server and should be forwarding my work key. If I add my SSH identities in the reverse order and run the same code above, Bitbucket reports I'm using my work user. Running ssh-add -l from my work server, I see that both SSH keys are being forwarded, but isn't that the job of IdentitiesOnly yes?
Really confused as to what's going on here.

ForwardAgent option forwards the connection to your agent, with all the keys inside and does not forward your local ~/.ssh/config to remote host. What you do on the work host is controlled by your configuration on that host.
What are you trying to do with that?
