git-username

Get the username (or 'owner' name) from a git/GitHub remote origin URL.

Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.

Install

Install with npm:

 $ npm install --save git-username

Usage

If no arguments are passed, the .git/config in the current working directory is used.

 var username = require('git-username');
console.log(username()); //=> jonschlinkert

Options

options.cwd

Type: string

Default: process.cwd()

Set the current working directory (cwd):

Examples

 username({ cwd: 'some/path' });

// cwd may also be passed as the first argument
username('some/path');

options.strict

Type: boolean

Default: undefined

Throw an error when a git config or git remote origin cannot be resolved. Otherwise, when strict is not true and a remote origin cannot be resolved, null is returned.

Example

 username({ strict: true });

Release history

v1.0

Breaking changes

The second argument can no longer be a boolean (for warning when git remote origin is not found). Use options.strict instead.
