GIT-URL-PARSE(1)

✨ GIT-URL-PARSE(1) ✨

okay bestie so this is a page from the git manual and it's literally about git-url-parse, which is the tool you're gonna be obsessed with once you see what it does 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

git-url-parse — parse and extract git URL components 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

git url-parse [-c <component>] [--] <url>...

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So git supports so many ways to write a URL, and ngl some of them are kinda non-standard 👀. Like, git straight up supports the scp style [user@]host:[path] format — yes, that whole vibe. This command exists so interoperability with git URLs isn't a whole ordeal: it lets you parse and extract the components of, fr fr, all git URLs 🫶

And here's the tea: any syntactically valid URL gets parsed, even if the scheme is not one git actually supports for fetching or pushing. So it's not doing a vibe check on whether git would use it — it's just parsing it. periodt 💅

---

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

• -c <component>, --component <component> — extract the <component> component from the given Git URLs, bestie. <component> can be one of: scheme, user, password, host, port, path. that's the whole list, no cap 🎯

---

🔥 OUTPUT 🔥

When --component is given, the requested component of each URL gets printed on its own line, in the order the URLs were given 🧚

And if the URL has no such component — like, imagine asking for a port on a URL that does not specify one — an empty line is printed in its place. not an error, just a lil blank line. slay 🌈

When --component is not given, no output is produced at all. The exit status is zero if every URL parses successfully and non-zero otherwise — so you can use the command purely as a validator. it's giving "quiet luxury" honestly 👑

---

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

Print the host name:

$ git url-parse --component host https://example.com/user/repo
example.com

Print the path:

$ git url-parse --component path https://example.com/user/repo
/user/repo
$ git url-parse --component path example.com:~user/repo
~user/repo
$ git url-parse --component path example.com:user/repo
/user/repo

Validate URLs without outputting anything:

$ git url-parse https://example.com/user/repo example.com:~user/repo
