  On Mac/Linux, setting a different default port for your host in ~/.ssh/config will allow git and other applications to automatically use the new port binding on the server. My ~/.ssh/config basically looks like https://gist.github.com/78ec014f31c8a06f656b https://gist.github.com/78ec014f31c8a06f656b …which allows me to just use "ssh server1.example.com" and "git clone foo@server1.example.com:blah/project" to access those resources without explicitly defining the port number. --- Edit: The standard msysgit installer for Windows may look in the same place too — I haven't tried.
