Regex to mach Github commit URL.

I'm quite new to regex and I'm trying to create a regular expression that matches commit URL on GitHub, for example, a string like this should be matched:

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/8dc765d438f1e42b3e8227b3b09fad7d73f4ec9a

Is this a correct way to do this?:

https://github.com/.*/.*/commit/[0-9a-f]{40}

I only need to match links starting with 'https'.

Your pattern is fine, but you could make it more generic by allowing any number of paths between the domain and the commit ending portion:

https://github\.com(?:/[^/]+)*/commit/[0-9a-f]{40}
