    # Using a custom URL scheme for shorter GitHub URLs

    Run the following command:

    ```shell
    git config --global url.ssh://[email protected]/.insteadof gh:
    ```

    This will tell Git to expand the gh: URL scheme to ssh://[email protected]. You can then checkout a repo using the shorter syntax:

    ```shell
    git clone gh:fredjean/simpler_workflow
    ```
