Shorter SSH Git Remotes using Aliased Hosts
Typically, when cloning or setting the url for a GitHub repo accessed via SSH, you have something like...
$ git clone git@github.com:caseyWebb/my-cool-repo...but, if you alias the GitHub host in ~/.ssh/config as such...
Host gh
  HostName github.com
  User git...your remotes can be much shorter...
$ git clone gh:caseyWebb/my-cool-repoWritten by Casey Webb
