Configure Magit Forge for hosted environments

If you are using GitHub enterprise or GitLab self-hosted service, then you need to specify the user and API Forge should used for the service (HOST)

For example, if the API is available at https://practical.li/api/v3

Set your username for the specific service in the ~/.gitconfig file:

git config --global github.example.com/api/v3.user EMPLOYEE

Add the API location to the local configuration of every repository that will use that service

cd /path/to/repo
git config github.host example.com/api/v3
