It's a tool that allows you to pack Git repository data into single URL. For example:
% cgiturl https://github.com/zdharma/giturl -r devel -p lib/coding_functions.cpp
Protocol: https
Site: github.com
Repo: zdharma/giturl
Revision: devel
File: lib/coding_functions.cpp
gitu://ŬṽǚǫoŒẗ6ẏȅcЭÑẩőn4ầŘїệαЃȣϟṈӛŀї
% cgiturl -d gitu://ŬṽǚǫoŒẗ6ẏȅcЭÑẩőn4ầŘїệαЃȣϟṈӛŀї
Protocol: https
Site: github.com
Repo: zdharma/giturl
Revision: devel
File: lib/coding_functions.cpp
This is C++11
implementation. There is the main Zsh implementation too.
You don't have to use Zsh as your shell, just have it installed, like Ruby.
The resulting URL is highly compressed thanks to use of Huffman codes and base-1024 encoding.
Compare length of the above data to the gcode
in URL:

It is 29
vs 62
characters, and you would normally need additional description like "the branch
is: ", etc. Giturl
allows to easily grab repository data from web page and terminal.
Only following characters can appear in input data – in the server, repository path, revision, etc.: [a-zA-Z0-9._~:-]
The characters are carefully chosen so that double clicking GitURL selects the whole gcode
.
Asian scripts are not used because characters from them are double-width and they would consume
the space saved by the compressions.
