const gitUrlParse = require('git-url-parse');
const parsed = gitUrlParse('https://github.com/IonicaBizau/git-url-parse.git');

Extracting the owner and name

const parsed = gitUrlParse('https://github.com/IonicaBizau/git-url-parse.git');
console.log(parsed.owner); // 'IonicaBizau'

Converting to a different URL format
