Hello all.
For instance with git+ssh I would have the following in my
~/.ssh/config:
```
Host paretooptimal-personal
User git
HostName github.com
IdentityFile /run/agenix/pareto_optimal_personal_priv
Host paretooptimal-work
User git
HostName github.com
IdentityFile /run/agenix/pareto_optimal_work_priv
```
Then I could use it like `git clone
git+ssh://paretooptimal-work/some-work/codebase.git` or
`git+ssh://paretooptimal-personal/some-personal/codebase.git`
respectively.
The problem is that since this is deprecated a tool I use in emacs called forge
doesn't want to add support for this type of git url because it's being deprecated:
https://github.com/magit/forge/issues/545
That's valid and understandable, but I feel like I have a valid use case
that calls into question the deprecation of these urls.
So my desire here is to have a solution for multiple git identities that
isn't deprecated and is supported in forge, or is a feature that can be
added using non-deprecated git functionality.
Un-deprecating git+ssh urls would be one possible solution, but if I had
to bet I'd say the case I make won't be compelling enough ;)
Either that, or some other way of accomplishing this is possible. Or
perhaps, this isn't a use case the git project thinks is worth
supporting.
I also have another case for `git+ssh` urls to create private git
repositories authenticated by ssh key. I'm fairly sure there isn't a
better solution for that.
If one needs a more concrete example of the private git repository use
case using `git+ssh`, I typically use it to create private Nix flakes.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Maybe I can't see the forest for the trees but why can't you use
ssh://paretooptimal-work/some-work/codebase.git
ssh://paretooptimal-personal/some-personal/codebase.git
instead?

Wow... yes I just cloned a repo with just `ssh://` rather than
`git+ssh://` and it works perfectly fine.
I simply didn't know that `ssh://` could be used and mistook deprecation
of `git+ssh` as deprecation of git integration with the ssh protocol.
Thank you!
