The following syntaxes may be used with them: + +- ssh://{startsb}user@{endsb}host.xz{startsb}:port{endsb}/path/to/repo.git/ +- git://host.xz{startsb}:port{endsb}/path/to/repo.git/ +- http{startsb}s{endsb}://host.xz{startsb}:port{endsb}/path/to/repo.git/ +- ftp{startsb}s{endsb}://host.xz{startsb}:port{endsb}/path/to/repo.git/ +- rsync://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/ + +An alternative scp-like syntax may also be used with the ssh protocol: + +- {startsb}user@{endsb}host.xz:path/to/repo.git/ + +The ssh and git protocols additionally support ~username expansion: + +- ssh://{startsb}user@{endsb}host.xz{startsb}:port{endsb}/~{startsb}user{endsb}/path/to/repo.git/ +- git://host.xz{startsb}:port{endsb}/~{startsb}user{endsb}/path/to/repo.git/ +- {startsb}user@{endsb}host.xz:/~{startsb}user{endsb}/path/to/repo.git/ + +For local respositories, also supported by git natively, the following +syntaxes may be used: + +- /path/to/repo.git/ +- file:///path/to/repo.git/ + +ifndef::git-clone[] +These two syntaxes are mostly equivalent, except when cloning, when +the former implies --local option.

To explicitly request a remote helper, the following syntax +may be used: + +- <transport>::<address> + +where <address> may be a path, a server and path, or an arbitrary +URL-like string recognized by the specific remote helper being +invoked. See linkgit:git-remote-helpers[1] for details. + +If there are a large number of similarly-named remote repositories and +you want to use a different format for them (such that the URLs you +use will be rewritten into URLs that work), you can create a +configuration section of the form: + +------------ + [url "<actual url base>"] + insteadOf = <other url base> +------------ + +For example, with this: + +------------ + [url "git://git.host.xz/"] + insteadOf = host.xz:/path/to/ + insteadOf = work: +------------ + +a URL like "work:repo.git" or like "host.xz:/path/to/repo.git" will be +rewritten in any context that takes a URL to be "git://git.host.xz/repo.git". + +If you want to rewrite URLs for push only, you can create a +configuration section of the form: + +------------ + [url "<actual url base>"] + pushInsteadOf = <other url base> +------------ + +For example, with this: + +------------ + [url "ssh://example.org/"] + pushInsteadOf = git://example.org/ +------------ + +a URL like "git://example.org/path/to/repo.git" will be rewritten to +"ssh://example.org/path/to/repo.git" for pushes, but pulls will still +use the original URL. |
