Advanced tools
The 'github-url-from-git' npm package is a utility that helps convert Git URLs to GitHub URLs. This can be particularly useful for developers who need to transform repository URLs for various purposes, such as generating links for documentation or automating workflows.
Convert Git URL to GitHub URL
This feature allows you to convert a Git URL (SSH format) to a GitHub URL (HTTPS format). This is useful for creating web links from repository URLs.
const githubUrlFromGit = require('github-url-from-git');
const gitUrl = 'git@github.com:user/repo.git';
const githubUrl = githubUrlFromGit(gitUrl);
console.log(githubUrl); // Outputs: 'https://github.com/user/repo'
Handle different Git URL formats
This feature demonstrates the package's ability to handle different Git URL formats, converting both SSH and HTTPS Git URLs to a standard GitHub URL.
const githubUrlFromGit = require('github-url-from-git');
const gitUrl1 = 'git@github.com:user/repo.git';
const gitUrl2 = 'https://github.com/user/repo.git';
const githubUrl1 = githubUrlFromGit(gitUrl1);
const githubUrl2 = githubUrlFromGit(gitUrl2);
console.log(githubUrl1); // Outputs: 'https://github.com/user/repo'
console.log(githubUrl2); // Outputs: 'https://github.com/user/repo'
The 'parse-github-url' package parses GitHub URLs into their component parts, such as owner, name, and branch. Unlike 'github-url-from-git', which focuses on converting Git URLs to GitHub URLs, 'parse-github-url' is more about breaking down the URL into its components for further processing.
The 'github-url-to-object' package converts GitHub URLs into objects containing useful information like user, repo, and branch. While 'github-url-from-git' converts Git URLs to GitHub URLs, 'github-url-to-object' provides a more detailed breakdown of the URL's components.
