How do I have the user represent this in the CLI? keep in mind, this is not the main input and is optional.
One way is to make this only provide-able via a config file using JSON or another structured data representation. But I want to see if theres a good way to do it in the CLI
What I am thinking of:
command --custom-repo uri='https://...',name=custom,sync_type=git --custom-repo ... [main input]
Ok, then I don’t understand at all. What happens if I host my git project on https://myawesomeproject.dev/? How can the application infer anything by this URL?
But you can’t assume that it follows the github format of https://<domain>/<user>/<project>.git. In my example, I meant that you would just use that url to clone it:
git clone https://myawesomeproject.dev
One real-world example of this is ziglings.org (though it’s technically just a redirect).

Can’t this all be deduced from the URI?
The .git suffix indicates git, the project name is the stem (project).
Nix does something like this with the protocol specifier: e.g.
git+https://...I’m not sure what
namemeans here exactly, but it might make sense to treat that separately, like git remotes:tool add [name] git+https://fooThat is assuming it’s hosted on github.
That is an example URI.

That’s not a GitHub format; it’s a git format.
No, it isn’t. Git doesn’t care what the url is, as long as it uses a supported transport protocol.
