the inverse, forcing git to use ssh instead of https:

git config --global url."[email protected]:".insteadOf "https://github.com/"

did not work for me.

I needed to add another one to get it working with Node's NPM

git config --global url."https://github.com/".insteadOf ssh://[email protected]

This adds an ssh:// prefix and removes the : suffix. It allows downloading public packages from GitHub repositories in environments like Docker where there are no SSH keys.

If anyone found themselves unable to revert the config using the suggested commands, go into the git config editor and manually delete what you want to remove :)

git config --global -e

For anyone unfamiliar with the editor, press "i" to start editing, "esc" to stop editing, and " : -> w -> q " to save and quit the editor.

When using ssh (git config --global url."[email protected]:".insteadOf https://github.com), is there a way to authenticate (using A PAT)? I know it's possible with https, don't see a way to provide a PAT (via Github secret) when using SSH method.
