TortoiseGit: Settings "remote" missing. How can I set SSH key without having a cloned repository?

I'm trying to clone a repository for which I need an SSH key. The "remote" option in the settings is only available after having a clone. Is there any way to set this SSH key without cloning from command line or using a different tool?

I read this. This question is not a duplicate, since there, you already need to have a git repository (cloned or created). I also read this answer and the comments.

When you open the clone dialog, there is the option "Load Putty" key. There you can specify your ssh key.

Clone dialog

cf. https://tortoisegit.org/docs/tortoisegit/tgit-dug-clone.html
