git remote add with other SSH port

Question

In Git, how can I add a remote origin server when my host uses a different SSH port?

$ git remote add origin ssh://user@host/srv/git/example

Answer 1

Let us take an example, where 1234 is the SSH port being used by the host (which is a different SSH port), now if I want to add a remote origin server, I would have to do this:

git remote add origin ssh://user@host:1234/srv/git/example.git

Here, 1234 is the ssh port being used

Also, use absolute path, not a relative path to user home directory
