Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
My github repo is cloned using an SSH alias, i.e.

```
Host github-mycompany
HostName github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/mycompany
```

As a result, the extension doesn't seem to know that my directory points to a github repository

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Support remote definitions. For example, gitlens solves this with a configuration:

```
"gitlens.remotes": [
{
"regex": "github-mycompany",
"type": "Custom",
"urls": {
"repository": "https://github.com/${repoBase}/${repoPath}",
"branches": "https://github.com/${repoBase}/${repoPath}/branches",
"branch": "https://github.com/${repoBase}/${repoPath}/commits/${branch}",
"commit": "https://github.com/${repoBase}/${repoPath}/commit/${id}",
"file": "https://github.com/${repoBase}/${repoPath}?path=${file}${line}",
"fileInBranch": "https://github.com/${repoBase}/${repoPath}/blob/${branch}/${file}${line}",
"fileInCommit": "https://github.com/${repoBase}/${repoPath}/blob/${id}/${file}${line}",
"fileLine": "#L${line}",
"fileRange": "#L${start}-L${end}"
}
}
],
```

Although I don't need anything this advanced. Even something like this would suffice:

```
"github-actions.remote-url": "https://github.com/mycompany"
```
