Use ssh for cloning repositories

[mzander]

In our self hosted gitlab we disabled cloning using https. It only allows ssh

I think it should be possible to switch the protocol within the repository settings.

Please reply with a 👍 if you want this feature.

cc @boxbeam does it make sense to use ssh based clone by default？

[boxbeam]

I don't think we can use it by default, since it requires a different mode of authentication (ssh key instead of access token). Cloning via ssh would need to be its own feature

Good point - i guess ssh based solution has to go with some pub key for deployment purpose.

In the docs, ssh is listed as an option for a repository. However, specifying one doesn't work: no jobs are created, nothing. Is it possible to use SSH for private Git projects currently?
