.SH "NAME"
git-url-parse \- Parse and extract git URL components
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.nf
\fBgit\fR \fBurl\-parse\fR [\fB\-c\fR \fI<component>\fR] [\fB\-\-\fR] \fI<url>\fR\&...\:
.fi
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
Git supports many ways to specify URLs, some of them non\-standard\&. For example, git supports the scp style [user@]host:[path] format\&. This command eases interoperability with git URLs by enabling the parsing and extraction of the components of all git URLs\&.
.sp
Any syntactically valid URL is parsed, even if the scheme is not one git supports for fetching or pushing\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\fB\-c\fR \fI<component>\fR, \fB\-\-component\fR \fI<component>\fR
.RS 4
Extract the
\fI<component>\fR
component from the given Git URLs\&.
\fI<component>\fR
can be one of:
\fBscheme\fR,
\fBuser\fR,
\fBpassword\fR,
\fBhost\fR,
\fBport\fR,
\fBpath\fR\&.
.RE
.SH "OUTPUT"
.sp
When \fB\-\-component\fR is given, the requested component of each URL is printed on its own line, in the order the URLs were given\&. If the URL has no such component (for example, a port in a URL that does not specify one), an empty line is printed in its place\&.
.sp
When \fB\-\-component\fR is not given, no output is produced\&. The exit status is zero if every URL parses successfully and non\-zero otherwise, allowing the command to be used purely as a validator\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c

Print the path:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4

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