I ran into this issue on a fresh macOS Sequoia install, and some of the workarounds mentioned in this topic _did_ work. But, there _is_ a way to get macOS and Lima to play together without that extra hassle.

I can confirm that just doing `ssh example.test` works on two of my macOS machines. My generated `wp-cli.trellis-alias.yml` file looks like:

```
"@development":
  ssh: "example.test"
  path: "/srv/www/example.com/current/web/wp"
```

Unfortunately, I don’t recall at which point/change I made that got things working for me. Maybe it was adding my SSH private key to macOS’s native keychain (which always bites me on a fresh install :sweat_smile:)?

```
ssh-add --apple-use-keychain ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
```
