Regex need match first path in string not subsequent

Question

I am looking for a regex that will match the first line, but not the second. This is what I have /^github.com\/[^\\\n]+$/

github.com/reggi
github.com/reggi/example

https://regexr.com/3ld7o

var patternA = /^github.com\/[^\\\n]+$/
var patternB = /^github\.com\/.+/
var patternC = /^github.com\/[^\/\n]+$/

var examples = function (pattern) {
  return [
    !!'github.com/reggi/genesis/soup'.match(pattern),
    !!'github.com/reggi/genesis'.match(pattern),
    !!'github.com/reggi'.match(pattern),
  ]
}

console.log(examples(patternA))
console.log(examples(patternB))
console.log(examples(patternC))

!!'...'.match(pattern) -> pattern.test('...')

^github.com\/[^\/\n]+$

I think you just had the wrong type of slash escaped.

If that was the case, it would not select github.com/reggi/genesis/soup regexr.com/3ld8j

I see. I thought you were concerned with matching on separate lines. Edited answer.

The pattern /^github\.com\/.+/ is enough for your need (remember to uncheck m - multiline when you test with regexr.com).
