Get the Rails controller and action given a path

Get the Rails controller and action from a given path/route

Given an application path like /github/github/issues, use the following to get the controller and action:

irb(main):001:0> Rails.application.routes.recognize_path "/github/github/issues", method: "GET"
=> {:controller=>"issues", :action=>"index", :user_id=>"github", :repository=>"github"}

The /github/github/issues path maps to issues#index (the index action on the IssuesController).
