feat: Nested group urls with Gitlab

[knubbbe]

Describe the feature

Hey! Thanks for making this cool project!

I have run into an issue with using repositories in nested groups on Gitlab.
For example, we have a component repository with the path https://gitlab.com/<company>/projects/<group>/components.
Since it only searchs for https://gitlab.com/<owner>/<repo>/ right now, it's impossible for us to use the nested repo.
And if we put our component repository in https://gitlab.com/<company>/components we can't add all the members that needs access to it because of Gitlab security restrictions.

Is there any specific reason why only /<owner>/<repo> is used?
Would is be possible touse nested group urls?

I'm happy to help if I can! Not too used to Github workflow though :)

I honestly wasn't aware that this was something that gitlab could do until now. It should be fairly simple to support I think azure works a similar way

Awesome, let me know if I can help in any way!

@knubbbe I forgot to mention you can also host your registry on jsrepo.com completely free and private to your team. Also no need to have to issue tokens through gitlab you can just sign in with everyones account!

I was able to fix this in v3 hopefully coming soonish...

Here is the parse code if you want to open a PR here:

private static parseUrl(
	url: string,
	opts: GitLabOptions
): GitLabState {
	let baseUrl = opts.baseUrl ?? BASE_URL;
	if (url.startsWith("gitlab:")) {
		baseUrl = new URL(url.slice(7)).origin;
	} else if (url.startsWith(BASE_URL)) {
		baseUrl = BASE_URL;
	}

	const repo = url.replaceAll(/gitlab\/|https:\/\/gitlab\.com\/|gitlab:https?:\/\/[^/]+\//g, "");

	let id = repo;
	const refStartIndex = repo.indexOf('/-/tree/');
	let ref: string | undefined;
	if (refStartIndex !== -1) {
		ref = repo.slice(refStartIndex + 8);
		const searchParamIndex = ref.indexOf('?');
		if (searchParamIndex !== -1) {
			ref = ref.slice(0, searchParamIndex);
		}
		id = id.slice(0, refStartIndex);
	}

	return {
		baseUrl,
		id,
		ref,
		url,
	};
}

Good job. I'll wait for v3 to be released.
Very appreciated that you were able to take time to make this change!
