Description

It would be convenient if niv add could take automatically recognize some defined url so I could just paste the repo path instead of writing github -u user -r repo -n repo.

Maybe there could be a config file that contains regexes with captures or something, though personally I'm fine with just predefined things for gitlab and github, which would probably cover 99% of cases.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement automatic URL detection for `niv add` by parsing GitHub/GitLab URLs to extract user, repo, and name parameters, reducing the need for manual flags.
