windows - Git Extensions: How to set the URL using a global variable

Question

I am wondering: is there a possibility to state the URL of a remote repository with a variable from the system using Git Extensions.

So I declared a global variable in windows: CENTRAL_REPO and stored the path to my central repository there.

Usually I would now write something like this %CENTRAL_REPO%source to get to the place I have my Repo at. Sadly, all the possibilities I know do not work and I have no idea where to look at. Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Ok, I have now read a lot and also studied the Git Extensions manual for some time. I have tried basically all available combinations like [Central_Repo]source or $(CENTRAL_REPO)source. It seems like there is no way to use a windows global variable or any other variable to state the URL of a Repository.

In case anyone got a different answer later on, I am happy to hear it!
