Run this script while in a git directory to automatically convert origin (and upstream if you have it) from HTTP to SSH.

If you have a million different git repos all in one directory, you can recursively run the script on all your clones like this:

find /path/to/directory/with/many/git/repos -type d -exec sh -c 'cd "{}" ; /absolute/path/to/this/script.sh ;' \;

This should check if .git is in the CWD. If you did this you could say "Skipping not a git root directory" just a thought :)
