Github_terminal.md

This is an adaptation of https://twitter.com/jasonneylon script.

In the terminal window, you can open your current repo (at the current branch) in your default browser.

My adaptation was adding options to view the commits, branches, pull requests or issues for the repo using one of the additional options (added support for wiki, settings, pulse, graphs, network):

[h]               => View help
[c]               => View commits
[c {SHA}]         => View specific commit from commit SHA
[b]               => View branches
[pr]              => View current branch compared to master
[pr branch]       => View current branch compared to specified branch
[i]               => View issues
[a]               => View assigned issues (in dev)
[w]               => View wiki
[s]               => View settings
[p]               => View pulse
[g]               => View graphs
[n]               => View network
[<filename.ext>]  => Open a file in it's current state in the current branch

Installation

This is a bash script, so it would be recommended that you include it in your ~/.bashrc (or ~/.bash_profile) file.

Using the command line (as it's generally easier than searching for potentially hidden files):

• $ vi ~/.bash_rc - or use your preferred text editor e.g. mate, subl etc.
• Paste function gh() { ... } into ~/.bashrc file
  • If you opted to use $ vi, you may need to press a to allow you to edit the file
• Save .bashrc (you may also close the file)
  • If you opted to use $ vi, save and close the file: ESC and :wq
• $ source ~/.bashrc - updates the Terminal/Shell with your changes, activating them ready for use

Usage

• $ gh Open your repo from the command line
• $ gh i View/list helper options
• $ gh c Open your branches Commits from the command line
• [c {SHA}] View specific commit from commit SHA
• $ gh b Open your repo's Branches from the command line
• $ gh pr Compare the current branch to master from the command line, ready for a pull request
• $ gh pr branch Compare the current branch to the branch specified from the command line, ready for a pull request
• $ gh i Open your repo's Issues from the command line
• $ gh w Open your repo's Wiki from the command line
• $ gh s Open your repo's Settings from the command line
• $ gh p Open your repo's Pulse Activity from the command line
• $ gh g Open your repo's Graphs/Analytics from the command line
• $ gh n Open your repo's Network Graph from the command line
• $ gh <filename.ext> Open a file in it's current state in the current branch

Improvements

I plan on making some improvements to this script (when I get the time to study bash/github a little more):

• Add elif [ "$1" = "a" ]; to only show Issues assigned to a particular user, either the current user, or a specified user

Thanks for using

N.B. This script works for most* operating systems, although it does involve editing slightly. The only parts that should need editing are wher you see the command open. This is specific to Mac OS. Other OS's will need to be customised like so:

• Mac open
• Windows start or cmd /c start
• Linux/Unix xdg-open
• Cygwin cygstart

*Mac OS and MS Windows are the only operating sytems I have been able to test.

Thanks for sharing.
Here is my version:

gh() {
   if [[ $1 == -@(h|-h)* ]]
   then
      echo 'Usage: gh [origin|-b|-i|-p|-c]'; return 0
   fi

   local origin
   [[ $1 != -* ]] && origin="${1}"
   local remote=remote."${origin:-origin}".url

   local giturl="$(git config --get "$remote")"
   [[ $giturl ]] || {
      echo "Not a git repository or no $remote set"
      return 1
   }

   local branch
   branch="$(git symbolic-ref HEAD 2>/dev/null)" || branch='(unnamed branch)'
   branch="${branch#refs/heads/}"

   giturl=https://github.com/"${giturl#*:}"

   local path
   case "$1" in
      -b) path=branches;;
      -i) path=issues;;
      -p) path=pulls;;
      -c) path=commits/"$branch";;
       *) path=tree/"$branch";;
   esac
   giturl="${giturl%.git}"/"$path"

   xdg-open "$giturl" 2>/dev/null
}

👍

Good stuff

Update

I've removed the - from each option as they more annoying to use

Update

I've made an improvement to the 'gh c' command, whereby you can enter a commit SHA and have the browser open up at the commit. Useful for viewing changes in a particular.

How to...

• gh c 8c72f05
• gh c 8c72f05fc9074d6db70dfd1e6806dcd8a1f01c4f

Useful

Related to the recent update, this git command/alias can be very useful in grabbing the latest commit from your local repo version:

• Mac - alias ghash='git rev-parse HEAD && git rev-parse HEAD | pbcopy'
• Win - alias ghash='git rev-parse HEAD && git rev-parse HEAD | clip'

Outputs the last commit SHA on the current branch, and copies it to your clipboard.

Update

I've managed to configure the gh() script to at least ready your current branch for a Pull Request.

• If a branch has been specified, your current brach will be compared to that one.
• If no branch has been specified, your current branch will be compared to master.

Update

You can now open a file in your current branch with the command gh <filename.ext> (substituting filename.ext with the actual filename). Note that the file must be pushed to the remote repo or you'll likely get a 404 error.

Also note that the full file path relative to the root of the document must be defined (I'll try and fix this)

I plan to improve this to select any lines specified and highlight them.

Note the typo in if [ "$giturl" == "" ]... should be a single =
