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).

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?
When a tool supports both regular expressions and literal strings, which should be the default?
If you default to regex, users can match more strings than they realise (e.g. `foo.txt`) or less (e.g. `foo(bar)`).
I typically see regex as the default, but I prefer the opposite.
