"ext::ssh -i /home/foo/.ssh/somekey %S foo/repo"

"ext::socat -t3600 - ABSTRACT-CONNECT:/git-server %G/somerepo"

"ext::git-server-alias foo %G/repo"

"ext::git-server-alias foo %G/repo %Vfoo"

"ext::git-server-alias foo %G/repo% with% spaces %Vfoo"

git push fd::7,8 master (as URL)

git push fd::7,8/bar master

git clone testgit:: []

This command is a simple remote-helper, that is used both as a testcase for the remote-helper functionality, and as an example to show remote-helper authors one possible implementation.

The best way to learn more is to read the comments and source code in git-remote-testgit.
