Force git to use https:// instead of git://

npm-using-https-for-git.sh

# npm using https for git
git config --global url."https://github.com/".insteadOf git@github.com:
git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://

# npm using git for https
git config --global url."git@github.com:".insteadOf https://github.com/
git config --global url."git://".insteadOf https://

I needed to add another one to get it working with Node's NPM

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

This adds an ssh:// prefix and removes the : suffix. It allows downloading public packages from GitHub repositories in environments like Docker where there are no SSH keys.

If anyone found themselves unable to revert the config using the suggested commands, go into the git config editor and manually delete what you want to remove :)

git config --global -e

For anyone unfamiliar with the editor, press "i" to start editing, "esc" to stop editing, and " : -> w -> q " to save and quit the editor.
