Bug ID: 3944
Summary: Allow specifying identity by key thumbprint
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 10.3p1
Hardware: Other
OS: Windows 11
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: ssh
Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
Reporter: justin.piper at gmail.com
GitHub does not support usernames other than "git", and instead uses
the public key supplied by SSH to identify the user. If you have
multiple accounts, such as a personal and work account, it is necessary
to specify the identity that you want to use to log in. Currently,
OpenSSH allows specifying an identity file, but if you're using
`ssh-agent`, it always uses the first key returned by the agent. It
would be useful if there were a way to specify a key to use by its
thumbprint.
