Description

add a command to upload SSH keys to the service, something like:

git <target> ssh push <ssh-public-key-file>
git <target> ssh ls
git <target> ssh delete <ssh-public-key-id>

the whole point being to make it easy to generate a new key (or even rotate keys!) or revoke an old key with the CLI.

Research direction
Examine the repository structure to understand how commands are added, likely under a commands directory. Look for existing SSH related code or API wrappers for git services. Since the issue is old, check if the codebase has changed. Consider discussing with the maintainer about the preferred approach and any existing branches.
