# Specific ref/tag
nurl https://github.com/owner/repo v1.2.3
# GitLab
nurl https://gitlab.com/owner/repo
# Sourcehut
nurl https://git.sr.ht/~user/repo
# PyPI package
nurl --fetcher fetchPypi https://pypi.org/project/requests/
# Output as JSON
nurl --json https://github.com/owner/repo
Example output
sh
$ nurl https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij v0.39.2

owner = "zellij-org";
repo = "zellij";
rev = "v0.39.2";
