I'm never sure what to name my remotes in git. I tend to use 'mine' so I can add other forks later, but sometimes I use 'gh' or the traditional 'origin'. What do others use?

I try to name my git remotes as 'github' where applicable. It really helps readability of commands. This is so common that I wish I could make this default (apparently the default remote name 'origin' isn't configurable in git).
