  In this work, we study the current phase relation ($C\Phi R$) of
lithographically fabricated molybdenum germanium (MoGe) nanobridges, which is
intimately linked to the nanobridge kinetic inductance. We do this by imbedding
the nanobridges in a SQUID. We observe that for temperatures far below $T_c$,
the $C\Phi R$ is linear as long as the condensate is not weakened by the
presence of supercurrent. We demonstrate lithographic control over the
nanobridge kinetic inductance, which scales with the nanobridge aspect ratio.
This allows to tune the SQUID $I_c(B)$ characteristic. The SQUID properties
that can be controlled in this way include the SQUID sensitivity and the
positions of the critical current maxima. These observations can be of use for
the design and operation of future superconducting devices such as magnetic
memories or flux qubits.
