hosted-git-info by Rebecca Turner of the NPM Inc is another fantastic ulitify module for parsing, breaking down and reusing GitHub, BitBucket and GitLab project URLs. It has a simple API and comes with full test coverage.
npm install hosted-git-info
Usage
var hostedGitInfo = require('hosted-git-info');
var info = hostedGitInfo.fromUrl('git@github.com:npmawesome/example-hosted-git-info.git');
console.log(JSON.stringify(info, null, 2));
Once you have results object, a few convinience methods are provided for your enjoyment.
console.log(info.file('/package.json'));
console.log(info.shortcut());
console.log(info.browse());
console.log(info.bugs());
console.log(info.docs());
console.log(info.https());
console.log(info.sshurl());
console.log(info.ssh());
console.log(info.path());
What Else?
I like that Rebecca Turner released version 1.0 instead of forever iterating on 0.0.x which has been the trend in the last couple of years. I’m a strong advocate of 1.0 releases as soon as it makes sense.
