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 [email protected]:
git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://

# npm using git for https
git config --global url."[email protected]:".insteadOf https://github.com/
git config --global url."git://".insteadOf https://

Can this also work with Git on Azure, where https is:
https://{organisation}.visualstudio.com/{project}/_git/{repository}
..and ssh is:
[email protected]:v3/{organisation}/{project}/{repository}
...notice the /_git/ part of the https url.

works only in global git config

--global seems to be a necessary fact.. :(

Hello dear, can you please help me with the same issue on organization.visualstudio? Thank you

Alguien podría ayudar con el comando para permitir a git usar http y https al momento de clonar
Estoy detrás de un proxy y me da error la clonación

It's working! Many Thanks

Please someone help me I tried so many things but it's not working. I'm trying to npm install to install the dependencies for the Github repository it installs some dependencies but at the end, it shows this ERROR.

the inverse, forcing git to use ssh instead of https:

git config --global url."[email protected]:".insteadOf "https://github.com/"

the inverse, forcing git to use ssh instead of https:

git config --global url."[email protected]:".insteadOf "https://github.com/"

did not work for me.

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

git config --global url."https://github.com/".insteadOf ssh://[email protected]

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.

@joseboretto
Bro, you saved me headache. Thanks.

Thank you!! You just saved my life.

All the yes. Thank you !

This worked like a charm 🥇

When using ssh (git config --global url."[email protected]:".insteadOf https://github.com), is there a way to authenticate (using A PAT)? I know it's possible with https, don't see a way to provide a PAT (via Github secret) when using SSH method.
