HEADS UP! Breaking changes in 0.3.0!!!

See the release history for details.

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"
}
