+===== Cloning via SSH =====
+Using SSH as transport is trivial, as it's widely used for repositories with
+write access. The URL to use for ''git clone'' or ''git remote'' looks like
+this:
+  ssh://[user@]example.com[:port]/path/to/repo.git/
+An alternative, "scp-like" syntax is supported as well:
+  [user@]example.com:path/to/repo.git/
+==== Specifying the SSH Identity ====
+Sometimes it's not sufficient to clone via SSH and relying upon the first
+accepted key in ''ssh-agent''. A practical example is having multiple accounts
+in Github - like with ''gitolite'', all users connect using a common username
+and are distinguished based on pubkey. This may be given during clone like so, according to a popular answer on [[https://stackoverflow.com/a/41947805|StackOverflow]]:
+  git clone -c core.sshCommand="/usr/bin/ssh -i /home/me/.ssh/id_rsa_foo" git@github.com:me/repo.git
+Or fixed after the fact in the local repo's config:
+  git config --local core.sshCommand "/usr/bin/ssh -i /home/me/.ssh/id_rsa_foo"
