Originally created by @raboof on GitHub (Jan 23, 2022).

Feature Description

I think it would be great if it were possible to register SSH keys that are only valid for a particular repo, or even a particular branch - somewhat like 'deploy keys', but with write permissions.

This might be useful for example when some external process automatically creates and pushes commits: that external process could be given its own SSH key, so that when it might get compromised only that particular repo is affected.

What about deploy keys but with write permissions? Is there anything wrong with them?

Awesome! I could've sworn that wasn't there back in January, but I must have simply missed it.

It would still be nice to have it on the branch level rather than on the repo level, but this is already sufficient to close this request, I think.

Thanks for pointing it out!

You could require PR for your branch, I think that would prevent deploy keys from committing. Untested though.
