It's a tool that allows you to pack Git repository data into single URL. For example:
% giturl https://github.com/z-shell/giturl -r devel -p lib/coding_functions.cpp
Protocol: https
Site: github.com
Repo: z-shell/giturl
Revision: devel
File: lib/coding_functions.cpp
gitu://ŬṽǚǫoŒẗ6ẏȅcЭÑẩőn4ầŘїệαЃȣϟṈӛŀї
% giturl -d gitu://ŬṽǚǫoŒẗ6ẏȅcЭÑẩőn4ầŘїệαЃȣϟṈӛŀї
Protocol: https
Site: github.com
Repo: z-shell/giturl
Revision: devel
File: lib/coding_functions.cpp
This is Zsh implementation. You don't have to use Zsh as your shell, just have it installed,
like Ruby. There is C++11
implementation too.
The resulting URL is highly compressed thanks to use of Huffman codes and base-1024 encoding.
Compare length of the above data to the gcode
in URL:

It is 29
vs 62
characters, and you would normally need additional description like "the branch
is: ", etc. Giturl
allows to easily grab repository data from web page and terminal.
Only following characters can appear in input data – in the server, repository path, revision, etc.: [a-zA-Z0-9._~:-]
The characters are carefully chosen so that double clicking GitURL selects the whole gcode
.
Asian scripts are not used because characters from them are double-width and they would consume
the space saved by the compressions.
