How to avoid providing absolute path of git repo while cloning?

Question

Hello All,

I am trying to host a git repository. I am now able to clone git repo on any machine within the network with:

git clone [email protected]:/home/gituser/repositories/gitosis-admin.git

But I need to give absolute path of the repo location.

Is it possible to clone without specifying repo path? like for e.g.

git clone [email protected]:gitosis-admin.git

Thanks in advance,

You should be able to clone using a path relative to your home directory on the remote machine. So, for example, git clone [email protected]:/home/gituser/repositories/gitosis-admin.git could become git clone [email protected]:repositories/gitosis-admin.git.
