However I am noticing that some kind of shell-like expansion is now allowed in the config file, wrt home directories, and my wish is somehow related to it. I wonder if it could be possible in future releases to expand also $HOSTNAME in fetch/push specs. The use case is the following. Working on more than one machine (e.g. a laptop A and a desktop B) you might need to periodically push to a server C and like to share the same config on both machines. Having $HOSTNAME expansion, whatever machine you push from, you can say git push C and have the branches go on remote/A or remote/B automatically on the server.
