What would you like to do?
git global url insteadOf setup
# one or the other, NOT both
[url "https://github"]
insteadOf = git://github
# or
[url "git@github.com:"]
insteadOf = git://github

Replace git:// with https://

Rewrite any git:// urls to be https:// but, it won't touch sshurls (git@github.com:)

git config --global url."https://github".insteadOf git://github

or replace with ssh

Use ssh instead of https://

git config --global url."git@github.com:".insteadOf "https://github.com/"

Hello, I tried to do this, so I attempted to git clone with https to see if it would override to ssh, but it seems to keep failing, is there anyway to force this?

@timmyyuan Pardon me, how to unset insteadOf in git global settings?

Thanks @tribela , I have found another way to remove this setting:

git config --global --remove-section url."https://github.com/"

Is there a way to do something like that instead?

[url "https://github.com"]
  insteadOf = github.com/

# or

[url "git@github.com:"]
  insteadOf = github.com/

Basically without using the http:// or https:// prefix.

It is possible to remove entries with credentials from command line scripts?

[url "https://user:token@repository.url.com"]
        insteadOf = https://repository.url.com

I tried git config --global --unset name <pattern> with no luck :(
