Issue

The FAQ page for GitHub tokens (https://exe.dev/docs/faq/github-token) should explicitly state that HTTPS (not SSH) URLs must be used for GitHub repositories.

Currently, users who attempt to use SSH URLs encounter errors like:

git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).

Current State

While the FAQ does provide an example using an HTTPS URL, the requirement is not explicitly documented.

Requested Change

Add clear, explicit documentation stating that:

  • HTTPS URLs are required (not SSH)
  • Reference the common error users encounter when using SSH URLs
  • Perhaps expand or emphasize the existing HTTPS URL example
