REPO_URL=$(git remote -v | grep -m1 '^origin' | sed -Ene's#.*(https://[^[:space:]]*).*#\1#p')
if [ -z "$REPO_URL" ]; then
    echo "-- ERROR:  Could not identify Repo url."
    echo "   It is possible this repo is already using SSH instead of HTTPS."
    exit
fi

USER=$(echo "$REPO_URL" | sed -Ene's#https://github.com/([^/]*)/(.*).git#\1#p')
if [ -z "$USER" ]; then
    echo "-- ERROR:  Could not identify User."
    exit
fi

if [ -z "$REPO" ]; then
    echo "-- ERROR:  Could not identify Repo."
