SSH config cleanup not done

[kcarlson]

The modified git config is not cleaned up after a run, e.g. the url git@key- section.
This will affect a subsequent run on, for example, a self-hosted runner.

We are using a workaround which may help someone:

- name: Restore git global config
  if: always()
  run: |
    MATCH=$(grep -o 'git@key-[^"]*\.github\.com:.*/[^"]*' ~/.gitconfig)
    git config --global --remove-section url.${MATCH}

@kcarlson would this workaround also work when multiple keys are provided?

[kcarlson]

I've only tested it with a single key being provided to the ssh-private-key field. If multiple keys end up under the same section in the .gitconfig, it should work, otherwise, if there are multiple sections, MATCH will have multiple matches and the ´git config´ command will not work.

I also have this issue, any news?

This is causing problems here too. It'd be great to have a resolution if one is available.

Thanks @kcarlson, your work around did the trick.
I'm noticing a section at the end of my action called "Post Add SSH Key"

Post job cleanup.
Stopping SSH agent
The "file" argument must be of type string. Received undefined
Error stopping the SSH agent, proceeding anyway

I'm wondering if this should be cleaning up the global gitconfig but is failing.
Either way the work around gets the job done. Thanks.
