parse-github-url

Parse a github URL into an object.

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.

Install with npm

npm i parse-github-url --save

Usage

var gh = require('parse-github-url');
