Get info from package.json or git remote origin, whichever is found first:

const Githost = require('find-githost')
const githost = Githost.fromDir('.')

console.log(githost.type)       // github
console.log(githost.owner)      // vweevers
console.log(githost.name)       // find-githost
console.log(githost.ssh())      // [email protected]:vweevers/find-githost.git
console.log(githost.https())    // https://github.com/vweevers/find-githost.git
console.log(githost.homepage()) // https://github.com/vweevers/find-githost

Get info from URL or npm shorthands:

const githost = Githost.fromUrl('vweevers/find-githost#d6aeb7c')

console.log(githost.toString())
console.log(githost.browse('README.md'))
console.log(githost.browse('CHANGELOG.md', { committish: 'v1.0.0' }))

• defaultBranch (string, default main): branch name to use for files and tarballs when committish is not present
• optional (boolean, default false): if no valid URL is found, return null instead of throwing an error.

The committish and defaultBranch options can also be set per method. See the documentation of methods below, which should also clarify when these options apply.

githost = Githost.fromDir(cwd[, options])

• roam (boolean, default false): look in parent directories too

githost = Githost.fromPkg(cwd[, options])

Get info from the repository field of a package.json in the cwd directory. Options:

• roam (boolean, default false): look in parent directories too
• Other options are passed on to fromUrl().

githost = Githost.fromPkg(pkg[, options])
