 It should work in all GitHub Actions virtual environments, including container-based workflows. 
 
 Windows and Docker support is, however, somewhat new. Since we have little feedback from the field, things might not run so smooth for you as we'd hope. If Windows and/or Docker-based workflows work well for you, leave a :+1: at https://github.com/webfactory/ssh-agent/pull/17.
 
+Also, using multiple GitHub deployment keys is supported; keys are mapped to repositories by using SSH key comments (see below).

+### Support for GitHub Deploy Keys
+
+When using **Github deploy keys**, GitHub servers will accept the _first_ known key. But since deploy keys are scoped to a single repository, this might not be the key needed to access a particular repository. Thus, you will get the error message `fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.` if the wrong key/repository combination is tried.

+To support picking the right key in this use case, this action scans _key comments_ and will set up extra Git and SSH configuration to make things work.
 
-In both cases, you might want to [try a wrapper script around `ssh`](https://gist.github.com/mpdude/e56fcae5bc541b95187fa764aafb5e6d) that can pick the right key, based on key comments. See [our blog post](https://www.webfactory.de/blog/using-multiple-ssh-deploy-keys-with-github) for the full story.
+1. When creating the deploy key for a repository like `[email protected]:owner/repo.git` or `https://github.com/owner/repo`, put that URL into the key comment.
+2. After keys have been added to the agent, this action will scan the key comments. 
+3. For key comments containing such URLs, a Git config setting is written that uses [`url.<base>.insteadof`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#Documentation/git-config.txt-urlltbasegtinsteadOf). It will redirect `git` requests to URLs starting with either `https://github.com/owner/repo` or `[email protected]:owner/repo` to a fake hostname/URL like `[email protected]...:owner/repo`.
+4. An SSH configuration section is generated that applies to the fake hostname. It will map the SSH connection back to `github.com`, while at the same time pointing SSH to a file containing the appropriate key's public part. That will make SSH use the right key when connecting to GitHub.com.
 
 ## Exported variables
 The action exports the `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` and `SSH_AGENT_PID` environment variables through the Github Actions core module.
