Parse GitHub URLs

[obsidianforensics]

Description GitHub URLs have a lot of info in them describing what is being viewed.

Examples

• https://github.com/obsidianforensics/unfurl/blob/master/unfurl/parsers/parse_twitter.py#L15

  • From above, we can tell:
  • GitHub username (obsidianforensics)
  • Repo name (unfurl)
  • Viewing file content (blob)
  • on branch master
  • path in code (unfurl/parsers/parse_twitter.py)
  • Goes to line 15 in the file (#L15)

• https://github.com/obsidianforensics/unfurl/tree/master/unfurl/parsers

  • Mostly same as above, but viewing the "tree" view of file names, not file content

References

• The above examples is just from me looking at the URLs; some actual references for this would be great!
