Regex to match SSH url parts

Given the following SSH urls:

git@github.com:james/example
git@github.com:007/example
git@github.com:22/james/example
git@github.com:22/007/example

How can I pull the following:

{user}@{host}:{optional port}{path (user/repo)}

As you can see in the example, one of the usernames is numeric and NOT a port. I can't figure out how to workaround that. A port isn't always in the URL too.

My current regex is:

^(?P<user>[^@]+)@(?P<host>[^:\s]+)?:(?:(?P<port>\d{1,5})\/)?(?P<path>[^\\].*)$

Not sure what else to try.

Solution

  • Lazy quantifiers to the rescue!

    This seems to work well and satisfies the optional port:

    ^
(?P<user>.*?)@
(?P<host>.*?):
(?:(?P<port>.*?)/)?
(?P<path>.*?/.*?)
$

    The line breaks are not part of the regex because the /x modifier is enabled. Remove all line breaks if you are not using /x.

    Thank you @Jan for the optimizations.
