`gix tool organize` does not support aliased URLs about gitoxide

git-config author here, we can definitely parse this information out of the config :)

Thanks for making us aware of this git-config feature!

As @edward-shen already clarified, it's not a problem of parsing but rather a problem of missing logic to further process certain git-config capabilities. Currently all we do is to read the single repository .git/config file and expecting the remote.url to be set.

In future as the git-config crate matures, I would expect this to be handled transparently or that additional utilities exist to make handling this case easier.

Yeah, so the problem (maybe? I'm guessing blind here) with that is the aliases are defined in the global ~/.gitconfig, not the repo's .git/config, so you now need two sources to resolve the URL correctly. That said, I might just poke it myself and see what happens this weekend.

That's one of two problems. The first one is the lack of a cascading config file interface at least for reading values, and the second is the lack of additional logic on top of certain 'special' configuration values, like file includes and…this one :D. Probably there are more.

That said, I might just poke it myself and see what happens this weekend.

Contributions are definitely welcome!
