git open [remote-name] [branch-name]
git open --issue
(git open works with these hosted repo providers, git open --issue currently only works with GitHub, Visual Studio Team Services and Team Foundation Server)
$ git open
# opens https://github.com/TRACKED_REMOTE_USER/CURRENT_REPO/tree/CURRENT_BRANCH
$ git open someremote
# opens https://github.com/PROVIDED_REMOTE_USER/CURRENT_REPO/tree/CURRENT_BRANCH
$ git open someremote somebranch
# opens https://github.com/PROVIDED_REMOTE_USER/CURRENT_REPO/tree/PROVIDED_BRANCH

The preferred way of installation is to simply add the git-open script
somewhere into your path (e.g. add the directory to your PATH environment
or copy git-open into an existing included path like /usr/local/bin).
npm install --global git-open
Save git-open anywhere, say as ~/Documents/Scripts/git-open.sh and define a function in your Powershell profile (see ~/Documents/WindowsPowerShell/profile.ps1) like this:
function git-open { cmd /c "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\bash.exe" "~/Documents/Scripts/git-open.sh" }
Set-Alias -Name gop -Value git-open
cmd terminalSave the git-open script in any place accessible via your %PATH% environment var.
Add antigen bundle paulirish/git-open to your .zshrc with your other bundle
commands.
Antigen will handle cloning the plugin for you automatically the next time you
start zsh, and periodically checking for updates to the git repository. You can
also add the plugin to a running zsh with antigen bundle paulirish/git-open
for testing before adding it to your .zshrc.
cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/pluginsgit clone https://github.com/paulirish/git-open.gitgit-open to your plugin list - edit ~/.zshrc and change
plugins=(...) to plugins=(... git-open)Add zgen load paulirish/git-open to your .zshrc file in the same function
you're doing your other zgen load calls in. ZGen will take care of cloning
the repository the next time you run zgen save, and will also periodically
check for updates to the git repository.
zplug "paulirish/git-open", as:plugin
git-open can automatically guess the corresponding repository page for remotes
(default looks for origin) on the following hosts:
To configure GitLab support (or other unique hosting situations) you need to set some options.
| option name | description |
|---|---|
| open.[gitdomain].domain | The (web) domain to open based on the provided git repo domain |
| open.[gitdomain].protocol | The (web) protocol to open based on the provided git repo domain. (Defaults to https) |
git config [--global] open.[gitdomain].domain [value]
git config [--global] open.[gitdomain].protocol [value]
Example
ssh://git@git.internal.biz:7000/XXX/YYY.githttp://repo.intranet/subpath/XXX/YYYgit config [--global] "open.https://git.internal.biz.domain" "repo.intranet/subpath"
git config [--global] "open.https://git.internal.biz.protocol" "http"
By default, git open opens the remote named origin. However, if your current branch is remotely-tracking a different remote, that tracked remote will be used.
In some instances, you may want to override this behavior. When you fork a project
and add a remote named upstream you often want that upstream to be opened
rather than your fork. To accomplish this, you can set the open.default.remote within your project:
git config open.default.remote upstream
This is equivalent to always typing git open upstream.
See hub for complete GitHub opening support.
It's the official GitHub project and provides hub browse.
Homebrew has an alternate git-open that only works with GitHub but can open user profile pages, too.
@gerep has an alternate git-open that works with a few providers. Of note, it opens the default view for BitBucket instead of the source view.
And, of course, jasonmccreary's original gh from which this plugin was forked.
jasonmccreary did the initial hard work. Since then, many contributors have submitted great PRs.
Please provide examples of the URLs you are parsing with each PR.
You can run git-open in echo mode, which doesn't open your browser, but just prints the URL to stdout:
env BROWSER='echo' ./git-open
You'll need to install bats, the Bash automated testing system. It's also available as brew install bats
git submodule update --init # pull in the assertion libraries
# Run the test suite once:
bats test # or `npm run unit`
# Run it on every change with `entr`
brew install entr
npm run watch
