ssh-agent with GitHub deploy key support

This action is inspired by the webfactory/ssh-agent action. My needs required adding some additional support and I wanted to add tests. I also preferred to use TypeScript for some stronger validation.

This action starts an ssh-agent and loads the private keys you supply into it. All keys must not contain a passphrase.

Usage

- uses: cardoe/ssh-agent-deploy-key@v1
  with:
    # SSH private keys to load into the ssh-agent
    ssh-private-key: |
      ${{ secrets.YOUR_KEY }}
      ${{ secrets.ANOTHER_KEY }}

    # Known hosts in addition to the user and global host key database. The
    # public SSH keys for a host may be obtained using the utility
    # `ssh-keyscan`. For example, `ssh-keyscan github.com`.
    ssh-known-hosts: ''
