With bash:

s='[email protected]:user/my-repo-name.git'
[[ $s =~ ^.*/(.*)\.git$ ]]
echo ${BASH_REMATCH[1]}

Output:

my-repo-name

Another method, using bash's variable substitution:

s='[email protected]:user/my-repo-name.git'
s1=${s#*/}
echo ${s1%.git}

Output:

my-repo-name

I'm not sure if there's a way to combine the # and % operators into a single substitution.
