git remotes with ssh aliases
did you know that `~/.ssh/config` aliases work for git remotes??
~/.ssh/config

Host gh
HostName github.com

you can now use `gh:username/repo` as the remote in place of `git@github.com:username/repo` , which is much shorter and easier to type many times!
`git clone gh:benharri/learngit`
there are many other use cases for the `ssh_config` file. for example, here is my config for the tilde machine for easy ssh connections.

then use `ssh tilde` to start a new ssh session. this also works with `scp` : try something like this `scp file.txt tilde:workspace/.` in place of `scp file.txt ben@tilde.team:workspace/.`
the ssh_config file is super useful. check `man ssh_config` for a full list of options!
