Description
Description
When I have a dependency on a file from GitHub, the result is consistently a 404 but the file does exist. I expect this to be because we use ssh and not PAT/http. Is it possible to have a dependency on a GitHub file using ssh?

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by reproducing a Paket dependency on a GitHub file through an SSH URL, then trace the GitHub file-fetch path and compare its handling with PAT/HTTP access. Done means SSH-based file dependencies work with a tested URL form, or the unsupported limitation and required alternative are clearly documented.
