Look at how "Fetching branches from other repositories" is done. It
shows the use of "remote add" and then shows the result by running
"cat" to show the contents.
I think that organization is much nicer than completely hiding how
the result looks like behind another "git config --set" call, like
the latter half of this patch does. The resulting text may read
like so:
...
save typing; so for example:
------------
$ git remote add public-repo yourserver.com:proj.git
------------
will add this to your configuration:
------------
$ cat .git/config
...
[remote "public-repo"]
url = yourserver.com:proj.git
...
------------
which lets you do the same push with just
------------
$ git push public-repo master
------------
