Git alias idea: "git browse" to open repo in browser ( hachyderm.io )

tyler , 9 days ago

not that it's a better solution, but a different solution is that for github at least, the gh cli is fantastic and has commands for opening the repo both in the cli and the browser, and you can also open issues, prs, etc. I have gh prv aliased to open the current branch's PR in the browser.

❯ gh alias list
c: pr create -a @me -f
ca: pr create -a @me -r myteam -f
co: pr checkout
prurl: pr view --json url -q ".url"
prv: pr view -w

This is how I was able to get ssh urls to work into something GitHub can open in the browser. Other sites may need more adjustments

Also, open is the Mac command

	browse = "!open $(git config remote.origin.url | sed \"s/:/\\//;s/git@/https:\\/\\//\")"

"start" only works on Windows tho.

Ah, so it's completely useless

I believe you can replace start with the command that is suitable for your system (e.g., xdg-open for linux).
