SSH aliasing to custom remote URL

[warent-bottleneck]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
My github repo is cloned using an SSH alias, i.e.

Host github-mycompany
        HostName github.com
        User git
        IdentityFile ~/.ssh/mycompany

As a result, the extension doesn't seem to know that my directory points to a github repository

Describe the solution you'd like
Support remote definitions. For example, gitlens solves this with a configuration:

  "gitlens.remotes": [
    {
      "regex": "github-mycompany",
      "type": "Custom",
      "urls": {
        "repository": "https://github.com/${repoBase}/${repoPath}",
        "branches": "https://github.com/${repoBase}/${repoPath}/branches",
        "branch": "https://github.com/${repoBase}/${repoPath}/commits/${branch}",
        "commit": "https://github.com/${repoBase}/${repoPath}/commit/${id}",
        "file": "https://github.com/${repoBase}/${repoPath}?path=${file}${line}",
        "fileInBranch": "https://github.com/${repoBase}/${repoPath}/blob/${branch}/${file}${line}",
        "fileInCommit": "https://github.com/${repoBase}/${repoPath}/blob/${id}/${file}${line}",
        "fileLine": "#L${line}",
        "fileRange": "#L${start}-L${end}"
      }
    }
  ],

Although I don't need anything this advanced. Even something like this would suffice:

"github-actions.remote-url": "https://github.com/mycompany"

Maybe not a bug, but my gut feeling is that enhancement means this is very low priority. Until it's fixed, this extension does nothing but cause false alarms for me - since it can't talk to github, it assumes variables are undefined. 😞

Adding to this, in the case where different GH account are to be used from the same computer, it seems like using SSH aliases is a good approach.

In my case, I have the following ~/.ssh/config:

Host drorata-personal
  Hostname github.com
  User git
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/personal_id_ed25519
  IdentitiesOnly yes

Host drorata-official
  Hostname github.com
  User git
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/drorata_official_id_ed25519
  IdentitiesOnly yes

In this case, the origin in an "official" repo is: @drorata-official:drorata-official-username/calling_workflow_with_inputs.git . This seems to break the behavior of this extension.

I'm not sure about the exact authentication method, but I was able to get the VS Code extension to recognize the GitHub repository by adding a remote repository and configuring VS Code settings.

VS Code settings.json:

{
  "github-actions.remote-name": "github-https",
}

Adding the remote repository:

git remote add github-https https://github.com/your-repo-https-url.git
