[SOLVED] How to obtain github "short" username at the command line?

Issue

So if..

$ git config user.name
↳ Alex Gray              # OK (my name)
$ git config user.email
↳ [email protected]        # OK (my email).

and..

GithubUserForProject() {  # in pwd
    ORIGIN=$(git config --get remote.origin.url) && echo $ORIGIN
    OWNER=${ORIGIN%/*}     && echo $OWNER  # trim URL tail
    OWNER=${OWNER#*.com/}  && echo $OWNER  # trim URL head
    OWNER=${OWNER#*:}      && echo $OWNER  # trim ssh URL head
}

$ cd /local/git/MyGitHubRepo && GithubUserForProject
↓ [email protected]:mralexgray/MyGitHubRepo.git
↓ [email protected]:mralexgray
↳ mralexgray            # OK (my username, but skanky way of finding it) 

but...

$ cd /local/git/SomeGuysProject && GithubUserForProject
↓ git://github.com/someguy/SomeGuysProject.git
↓ git://github.com/someguy
↳ someguy              # WRONG! (cloned repo's user!)

So, how can I determine my github "short username" programmatically, either from the environment, a github API request, etc., or otherwise (via a script or terminal session?

Solution

I thought it silly that such an inane question go so glaringly unsolved... so for lack of knowing how to cleverly parse strings in bash without resorting to the one SED combo I know by heart, and......

security find-internet-password -s github.com | grep acct | sed 's/"acct"<blob>="//g' | sed 's/"//g'

ét voila....

This may depend on having the Github mac client installed... and yet again... it might not.
