I typically use "github:jrockway/foo.git", not "ssh://git@github.com/jrockway/foo.git". SSH invented its own format; it didn't reuse regular URLs. (Complicating matters, perhaps, is my .ssh/config file, which eliminates the need to specify the username and hostname in the host part.)

ssh didn't invent that format. It's the rcp format, which is older than URLs. It's hard to reuse something a decade before it exists.
Well, yeah. That's why it's wrong to criticize the article by saying that they made up the example. They did not.
