Delete Branch "viappidu/ssh_cloning"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Checking if cloning will be done via ssh
@viappidu is there a reason you'd want to introduce SSH based cloning? The potential problem I see with is that it would require users to have an SSH key generated for the user the process is running under in order to clone the repos versus https cloning of a public repo which requires no such setup.
I understand your concerns, and you are right though I use private
repositories and have already running agents with my keys. I actually can
only ssh to my repositories...

I also happen to use my own local repo to combine multiple external sources.
I could put them on github, but it's too special and usually it's temporary (e.g. when debugging, I change some lines and merge the other repos).
Users that use a git repo via ssh, will also know how to solve the key problem.
Normal users are not affected.
Additionally there are several other possibilities, github isn't the only public git site, think of gitlab etc.
I generally think, kiuah should not mess with the repo url at all.
