gh-config: Set protocol to SSH.
$ gh config set git_protocol ${ssh}
try on your machine
This command is used to set the git protocol configuration in GitHub's Command Line Interface (CLI) tool called "gh". The specific command is setting the configuration for the git_protocol.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
gh
: It refers to the "gh" command.config
: It is a subcommand of "gh" used for managing configuration settings.set
: It is an argument for the "config" subcommand used to set a specific configuration value.git_protocol
: It is the name of the configuration option that needs to be set. It represents the git protocol to be used during git operations, such as clone or push.${ssh}
: It is a variable or placeholder that dynamically provides the value for the configuration option. In this case, it is referring to the "ssh" protocol.
To put it simply, this command sets the git protocol in the GitHub CLI tool to be "ssh" instead of the default protocol (which is likely "https"). This means that the tool will use SSH for cloning or pushing repositories instead of HTTPS.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
