Today's Article is a quick glance about this less known feature provided by Github: GIT.IO . What GIT.IO does is shortens your repository's url. Seems pretty basic us, but this actually plays a significant role for those who always stick to GIT BASH.
Most of us during our web application development use the Command Line Interface. They are so ease to use rather than using drag and drops or simultaneous clicks for a single task. CLI is next cool technology trend that every software framework are fascinated about. So whenever we start a new project we initialize the project configuration via Command Line Interface.
I do some AngularJs Web App development. Talking about my way of configuring projects i normally do npm init which within next steps asks for the github repository. So either I need to copy paste the git repository or type it manually. And here by shortening the repository url with the help of GIT.IO all we need to keep not of is the fiveunique characters linked with the git.io url like shown below:
Here I shorten url of a repository that belongs to a organization that I'm involved with:
Later this long url turns out to be short with just 5 characters appended to git.io.
It would have been even more helpful if github could provide short urls for any Url. But git.io only shortens GitHub.com URLs.
