Shell script to split a url and extract the variables

I have a string like this "git@github.com:myOrg/my-repo.git", I am trying to split the url string and get the substrings "myOrg" and "my-repo".

I tried below script but it is failing

REPO=$(echo $SSH_URL | sed  -n 's#.*:\\(.*\\)/.*#\#p')

GIT_ORG=$(echo $SSH_URL | sed -n 's/^.*:\\([^\\/]*\\)\\/\\(.*\\)\\.git$/\/p')

but I am getting below error

sed: -e expression #1, char 39: unknown option to s

can someone please help

You could use parameter expansion to cut off the unneeded parts:

url="${SSH_URL}"   # make a copy
url="${url#*:}"    # drop until colon
url="${url%.git}"  # drop extension

owner="${url%/*}"  # extract "myOrg"
repo="${url#*/}"   # extract "my-repo"

You could use the read builtin: (edit: added the stripping of .git with a parameter expansion)

#!/bin/bash

SSH_URL=git@github.com:myOrg/my-repo.git

IFS=':/' read -r _ git_org git_repo <<< "${SSH_URL%.git}"

$ echo "$git_org"
myOrg
$ echo "$git_repo"
my-repo

Use a regular expression.

[[ $SSH_URL =~ git@github.com:(.*)/(.*)\.git ]]
REPO=${BASH_REMATCH[2]}
GIT_ORG=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}

The first element (0) of the BASH_REMATCH array is the entire matched string; subsequent elements are the contents of any capture groups in the regular expression, from left to right.

While the other answers are going to be more efficient (ie, they don't incur the overhead of spawning 4x subshells), some considerations re: OP's current sed solution:

• in the 1st sed script the # is used as the script delimiter
• in the 2nd sed script the / is used as the script delimiter
• the error is being generated by the 2nd sed script because the / also shows up in the data (ie, sed can't distinguish between a / used as a delimiter vs. a / as part of the data)
• try using # as the script delimiter in the 2nd sed command to eliminate the error message

As for the current regexes, this may be easier to address if we enable extended regex support (-E or -r), eg:

$ echo "$SSH_URL" | sed -nE 's#^.*:([^/]*)/.*$##p'
myOrg

$ echo "$SSH_URL" | sed -nE 's#^.*/([^\.]*)\..*$##p'
my-repogit

Eliminating the pipe/subshell with a here-string (<<< "$var"):

$ sed -nE 's#^.*:([^/]*)/.*$##p' <<< "$SSH_URL"
myOrg

$ sed -nE 's#^.*/([^\.]*)\..*$##p' <<< "$SSH_URL"
my-repo

Pulling all of this into OP's current code:

$ REPO=$(sed -nE 's#^.*:([^/]*)/.*$##p' <<< "$SSH_URL")
$ GIT_ORG=$(sed -nE 's#^.*/([^\.]*)\..*$##p' <<< "$SSH_URL")

$ typeset -p REPO GIT_ORG
declare -- REPO="myOrg"
declare -- GIT_ORG="my-repo"

NOTES:

• the $( ... ) construct will still require a subshell to be spawned (2 total in this case)
• consider getting into the habit of using lower-cased variable names (eg, ssh_url, repo and git_org) to minimize the (future) chance of overwriting system variables (eg, PWD, HOME, PATH)
