Configuration
GitHub SSH URLs are cumbersome to type, can I make them shorter?
Yes, by adding a host alias for github.com in your SSH configuration file ~/.ssh/config. Add the following lines to ~/.ssh/config:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
Host github.com github gh
User git
Hostname github.com |
You can now clone from GitHub using the aliases listed after Host:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
$ git clone github.com:openjdk/jdk
$ git clone github:openjdk/jdk
$ git clone gh:openjdk/jdk |
