1# hosted-git-info 2 3This will let you identify and transform various git hosts URLs between 4protocols. It also can tell you what the URL is for the raw path for 5particular file for direct access without git. 6 7## Example 8 9```javascript 10var hostedGitInfo = require("hosted-git-info") 11var info = hostedGitInfo.fromUrl("git@github.com:npm/hosted-git-info.git", opts) 12/* info looks like: 13{ 14 type: "github", 15 domain: "github.com", 16 user: "npm", 17 project: "hosted-git-info" 18} 19*/ 20``` 21 22If the URL can't be matched with a git host, `null` will be returned. We 23can match git, ssh and https urls. Additionally, we can match ssh connect 24strings (`git@github.com:npm/hosted-git-info`) and shortcuts (eg, 25`github:npm/hosted-git-info`). Github specifically, is detected in the case 26of a third, unprefixed, form: `npm/hosted-git-info`. 27 28If it does match, the returned object has properties of: 29 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 34 35## Version Contract 36 37The major version will be bumped any time… 38 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. 43 44Implications: 45 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 51 change. 52 53## Usage 54 55### var info = hostedGitInfo.fromUrl(gitSpecifier[, options]) 56 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. 61 62## Methods 63 64All of the methods take the same options as the `fromUrl` factory. Options 65provided to a method override those provided to the constructor. 66 67* info.file(path, opts) 68 69Given the path of a file relative to the repository, returns a URL for 70directly fetching it from the githost. If no committish was set then 71`master` will be used as the default. 72 73For example `hostedGitInfo.fromUrl("git@github.com:npm/hosted-git-info.git#v1.0.0").file("package.json")` 74would return `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/npm/hosted-git-info/v1.0.0/package.json` 75 76* info.shortcut(opts) 77 78eg, `github:npm/hosted-git-info` 79 80* info.browse(path, fragment, opts) 81 82eg, `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` 85 86* info.bugs(opts) 87 88eg, `https://github.com/npm/hosted-git-info/issues` 89 90* info.docs(opts) 91 92eg, `https://github.com/npm/hosted-git-info/tree/v1.2.0#readme` 93 94* info.https(opts) 95 96eg, `git+https://github.com/npm/hosted-git-info.git` 97 98* info.sshurl(opts) 99 100eg, `git+ssh://git@github.com/npm/hosted-git-info.git` 101 102* info.ssh(opts) 103 104eg, `git@github.com:npm/hosted-git-info.git` 105 106* info.path(opts) 107 108eg, `npm/hosted-git-info` 109 110* info.tarball(opts) 111 112eg, `https://github.com/npm/hosted-git-info/archive/v1.2.0.tar.gz` 113 114* info.getDefaultRepresentation() 115 116Returns the default output type. The default output type is based on the 117string you passed in to be parsed 118 119* info.toString(opts) 120 121Uses the getDefaultRepresentation to call one of the other methods to get a URL for 122this resource. As such `hostedGitInfo.fromUrl(url).toString()` will give 123you a normalized version of the URL that still uses the same protocol. 124 125Shortcuts will still be returned as shortcuts, but the special case github 126form of `org/project` will be normalized to `github:org/project`. 127 128SSH connect strings will be normalized into `git+ssh` URLs. 129 130## Supported hosts 131 132Currently this supports Github, Bitbucket and Gitlab. Pull requests for 133additional hosts welcome. 134
