I am trying to configure certain git repo to use a specific public/private key to authenticate.
This is inside ~/.ssh/config
Host Repo
HostName bitbucket.org
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/ynd
LogLevel DEBUG
And this is the log when trying to push to repo
debug1: Connecting to bitbucket.org [104.192.143.1] port 22.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
I can see that is finding the identity but it is not using it to authenticate when publickey authentication is requested from server.
What am I doing wrong? Why is ssh not using IdentityFile from config file?

Looks like, your session is not able to access the specified key, and it's falling back to the default one. and it's able to access the bitbucket , but then, you are not able to access the repo with this key so take a look at the repo permissions with that default key /Users/evgenipetrov/.ssh/id_rsa
also check which ssh-keys are loaded into the ssh-agent and load the missing one with ssh-add
