I use an SSH tunnel to access my computer at work from home. On occasion I want to clone a git repo that is on the remote server. To do so its necessary to specify the port, which doesn't work with the conventional clone syntax.

E.g. <code>git clone hostname:path/to/repo</code>. The solution is to be a little more specific:

<pre>
git clone ssh://localhost:2222/~username/path/to/repo
</pre>
