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. ### Related projects - git remote set-url, Homebrew ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** git-url-sub - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Requirements:** macos - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [git-get](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-get/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, repository-management, version-control. - [git-grab](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-grab/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, repository-management, version-control. - [git-lfs](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-lfs/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git-extension, version-control. - [git-machete](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-machete/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git-extension, version-control. - [git-mediate](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-mediate/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git-extension, version-control. - [git-multipush](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-multipush/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git-extension, version-control. - [git-now](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-now/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git-extension, version-control. - [git-number](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-number/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git-extension, version-control. - [git-trim](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-trim/) - Package names and metadata indicate a similar tool family.
