This git shim replaces any URL or SCP-style URL as an argument to git with an HTTPS URL.
This is useful in a corporate environment where an HTTP Proxy is used. You could use the command git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://
but that doesn't work for SCP-style style URLs: git@github.com:org/repo.git
due to the colon :
.
How does it work? You place this git shim on your path before the actual git. When it runs, it finds arguments and replaces them, and then invokes the next git on the path with the scrubbed arguments.
- Go to the latest Release
- Download the binary for your device
- Unarchive and place the binary somewhere accessable like
~/bin
- Edit your PATH environment variable to place
~/bin
before wheregit
is installed, likePATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/bin
. - Restart your terminal
With Go installed, ensure Go's bin path is on the $PATH environment variable before git
and run:
go install github.com/dependabot/git@latest
You may need to restart your terminal, or source
on your .*rc/profile.
