FAQPage Schema
How do I extract the GitHub repository owner and name from a Git remote URL?▼

To extract the GitHub repository owner and name from a Git remote URL, resolve the origin remote and parse the URL. This skill handles both HTTPS and SSH formats to return the owner, repo, and GitHub indicator.

Does parsing a Git remote URL work for both SSH and HTTPS GitHub formats?▼

Parsing a Git remote URL works for both SSH and HTTPS GitHub formats. The skill resolves the origin URL and applies format-specific parsing rules to accurately extract the repository owner and name from either protocol.

What happens when a local Git repository has no remote configured?▼

When a local Git repository has no remote configured, the parsing function gracefully returns empty values. It detects the missing origin URL and safely exits without extracting an owner or repository name.

Can I use this to check if a local repository is actually hosted on GitHub?▼

You can check if a local repository is hosted on GitHub by resolving the origin URL. The skill inspects the remote address and surfaces a specific GitHub indicator, returning empty if the repository is hosted elsewhere.

Do I need Git installed to identify a GitHub repository from the remote URL?▼

Git must be installed and present in your environment to identify a GitHub repository from the remote URL. The skill relies on Git to resolve the local repository's origin URL before parsing the owner and name.
