Project history and usage

git-url-sub is a small shell Git utility for recursively substituting remote URLs across multiple repositories.

Project history

Greg Osuri published git-url-sub in 2011. The README and license identify the project as a compact Git helper aimed at changing repository remotes in bulk rather than editing each repository by hand.

Adoption history

The project had a Homebrew installation path early enough to be documented in the README. Its repository remained small, with sparse public history and a narrow command surface.

How it is used

Practitioners use git url-sub with a pattern and replacement to rewrite remote URLs, for example after a GitHub organization rename, a hosting migration, or a switch between URL styles. The -c option commits changes and -s suppresses output.

Why package nerds care

git-url-sub is notable as a Unix-style Git helper: a single-purpose command that automates a repetitive repository-maintenance chore without building a broader synchronization system.

Timeline

2011: Repository created and README copyright year recorded.
2011: 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 tags were published in the repository.
