"clone from github" via ssh

[diminutivesloop]

Issue Type: Feature Request

I prefer authenticating with GitHub via ssh keys so I can use various git tools without entering my credentials separately for each of them. Currently the "clone from github" subcommand clones repos and configures their remote urls with https. I would like an option to use ssh instead similar to the GitHub CLI git_protocol setting.
