3 This will let you identify and transform various git hosts URLs between
4 protocols. It also can tell you what the URL is for the raw path for
5 particular file for direct access without git.
10 var hostedGitInfo = require("hosted-git-info")
11 var info = hostedGitInfo.fromUrl("git@github.com:npm/hosted-git-info.git", opts)
17 project: "hosted-git-info"
22 If the URL can't be matched with a git host, `null` will be returned. We
23 can match git, ssh and https urls. Additionally, we can match ssh connect
24 strings (`git@github.com:npm/hosted-git-info`) and shortcuts (eg,
25 `github:npm/hosted-git-info`). Github specifically, is detected in the case
26 of a third, unprefixed, form: `npm/hosted-git-info`.
28 If it does match, the returned object has properties of:
30 * info.type -- The short name of the service
31 * info.domain -- The domain for git protocol use
32 * info.user -- The name of the user/org on the git host
33 * info.project -- The name of the project on the git host
37 The major version will be bumped any time…
39 * The constructor stops accepting URLs that it previously accepted.
40 * A method is removed.
41 * A method can no longer accept the number and type of arguments it previously accepted.
42 * A method can return a different type than it currently returns.
46 * I do not consider the specific format of the urls returned from, say
47 `.https()` to be a part of the contract. The contract is that it will
48 return a string that can be used to fetch the repo via HTTPS. But what
49 that string looks like, specifically, can change.
50 * Dropping support for a hosted git provider would constitute a breaking
55 ### var info = hostedGitInfo.fromUrl(gitSpecifier[, options])
57 * *gitSpecifer* is a URL of a git repository or a SCP-style specifier of one.
58 * *options* is an optional object. It can have the following properties:
59 * *noCommittish* — If true then committishes won't be included in generated URLs.
60 * *noGitPlus* — If true then `git+` won't be prefixed on URLs.
64 All of the methods take the same options as the `fromUrl` factory. Options
65 provided to a method override those provided to the constructor.
67 * info.file(path, opts)
69 Given the path of a file relative to the repository, returns a URL for
70 directly fetching it from the githost. If no committish was set then
71 `master` will be used as the default.
73 For example `hostedGitInfo.fromUrl("git@github.com:npm/hosted-git-info.git#v1.0.0").file("package.json")`
74 would return `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/npm/hosted-git-info/v1.0.0/package.json`
78 eg, `github:npm/hosted-git-info`
80 * info.browse(path, fragment, opts)
82 eg, `https://github.com/npm/hosted-git-info/tree/v1.2.0`,
83 `https://github.com/npm/hosted-git-info/tree/v1.2.0/package.json`,
84 `https://github.com/npm/hosted-git-info/tree/v1.2.0/REAMDE.md#supported-hosts`
88 eg, `https://github.com/npm/hosted-git-info/issues`
92 eg, `https://github.com/npm/hosted-git-info/tree/v1.2.0#readme`
96 eg, `git+https://github.com/npm/hosted-git-info.git`
100 eg, `git+ssh://git@github.com/npm/hosted-git-info.git`
104 eg, `git@github.com:npm/hosted-git-info.git`
108 eg, `npm/hosted-git-info`
112 eg, `https://github.com/npm/hosted-git-info/archive/v1.2.0.tar.gz`
114 * info.getDefaultRepresentation()
116 Returns the default output type. The default output type is based on the
117 string you passed in to be parsed
119 * info.toString(opts)
121 Uses the getDefaultRepresentation to call one of the other methods to get a URL for
122 this resource. As such `hostedGitInfo.fromUrl(url).toString()` will give
123 you a normalized version of the URL that still uses the same protocol.
125 Shortcuts will still be returned as shortcuts, but the special case github
126 form of `org/project` will be normalized to `github:org/project`.
128 SSH connect strings will be normalized into `git+ssh` URLs.
132 Currently this supports Github, Bitbucket and Gitlab. Pull requests for
133 additional hosts welcome.
