Here’s an example of rewriting the default protocol for GitHub:
git config --global url.https://github.com/.insteadOf git://github.com/
The exact values depend on the protocol in use. For example, the above command for git over ssh will look like:
git config --global url.https://github.com/.insteadOf git@github.com:
Git documentation for url.<base>.insteadOf:
git config [--global] url.<base>.insteadOf <other_url>Any URL that starts with this value will be rewritten to start, instead, with
<base>. When more than one insteadOf strings match a given URL, the longest match is used.
