Scenario:
A. you are on a firewalled network, from where you can’t access github (remote port:9418 is not allowed)
or
B. you want to access a securized git server from home, but your IP is not on the git server’s whitelist.
and, of course, you have ssh access on a server that can do this.
A. Make a ssh tunnel to the git server
