I have several bash scripts that require the remote URL of a Git repository, so a while back I wrote a script to build the URL. I recently rebuilt it with support for SSH host aliases.

/usr/local/bin/remote-url

#!/bin/bash

# Read the repo base URL from the git config
url=$(git config --get remote.origin.url)

# If the URL does not follow the `git@` format, replace it with the correct one
# from the SSH config.
if [[ $url != "git@"* ]]; then
	# Read the host alias from the git config
	host=${url/:*/}

	# Lookup the real hostname from the SSH config

Bits and bytes of code
