R Documentation

Parse a remote git repo specification

Description

A remote repo can be specified in two ways:

as a URL: parse_github_url() handles HTTPS and SSH remote URLs and various GitHub browser URLs
via a shorthand: parse_repo_spec() handles this concise form: ⁠[username/]repo[/subdir][#pull|@ref|@*release]⁠

Usage

parse_repo_spec(repo)

parse_github_repo_spec(repo)

parse_github_url(repo)

Arguments

repo

Character scalar, the repo specification.

Value

List with members: username, repo, subdir ref, pull, release, some which will be empty.

Examples

parse_repo_spec("metacran/crandb")
parse_repo_spec("jimhester/covr#47")        ## pull request
parse_repo_spec("jeroen/curl@v0.9.3")       ## specific tag
parse_repo_spec("tidyverse/dplyr@*release") ## shorthand for latest release
parse_repo_spec("r-lib/remotes@550a3c7d3f9e1493a2ba") ## commit SHA
