npm badge

Parse a github URL into an object.

Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save parse-github-url

Why another GitHub URL parser library?

Seems like every lib I've found does too much, like both stringifying and parsing, or converts the URL from one format to another, only returns certain segments of the URL except for what I need, yields inconsistent results or has poor coverage.

Usage

var gh = require('parse-github-url');
gh('https://github.com/jonschlinkert/micromatch');

Results in:

{
  "owner": "jonschlinkert",
  "name": "micromatch",
  "repo": "jonschlinkert/micromatch",
  "branch": "master"
}
