Is it possible to simplify or map to a specific child directory?

Github works perfectly. I can use get get or ghq get -p and get all contents to the same path.
For Azure Repos though the https and ssh paths are formatted differently.
That's ok, and I can live with it, two paths, since I tend to stick with just ssh or https for VCS.

However, what it actually does is split the url so I get a bunch of nested directories a bit more nested than I'd prefer.

/
└── Users
    └── username
        └── git
            └── ssh.dev.azure.com
                └── v3
                    └── orgname
                        └── projectname
                            └── reponame

Instead, I'd hope to just have option to map all of them to just be:

/
└── Users
    └── username
        └── git
            └── ssh.dev.azure.com
                        └── projectname
                            └── reponame

is that possible?

@motemen bump :-) Just checking. I use this all the time and appreciate it! Was hoping you could give me a little insight to confirm.

Hello, I would recommend using url.insteadOf config to modify local path against remote url. Maybe this helps?

Do you have a suggestion on what that would look like? Are you thinking something along these lines? I've never used this approach so making sure I'm on the same page.

git config --global url."ssh://git@dev.azure.com/organization/project/_git/".insteadOf "azure:"
