Is this needed?

Big yes for that one. I cannot use the step in my case without it :(

Hi,
Thank you for your work.
I guess that it is just my own incompetence and lack of patience, but I wasn't able to set it up myself.
Thus, I used a work around that I found myself and described at an open issue: #1315 (comment).

This workaround might work with any upstream tags as it modifies the ssh config file, but I've only tested v3.

I hope this can help someone until there is a proper fix merged.

It would be beneficial to have this feature.
Self-hosted services are advised against using the default port for security reasons.
Making SSH ports configurable officially can avoid a lot of workaround settings.

Was gonna tag a bunch of maintainers and write a rant about this PR being open for almost 2 year without any maintainer interaction. But then I came across this issue comment stating that they basically DO NOT support anything that is not Github focused...

Sadly the checkout action @ Gitea is only a bare mirror that doesn't accepts PRs at all.
