It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time Coding, Mostly

Git Short URLs

I knew for a fact this feature existed, but even so it took me a half hour to track down the syntax for it. To prevent myself ever needing to do that again, I'm putting it here.

To create a nice, short URL abbreviation for git, such as myserver:<project>.git, put the following in ~/.gitconfig

That's all there is to it.
