Open GitHub URL for current directory/repo...

github.bash

alias gh="open \`git remote -v | grep git@github.com | grep fetch | head -1 | cut -f2 | cut -d' ' -f1 | sed -e's/:/\//' -e 's/git@/http:\/\//'\`"

I arrived here looking for a way to convert the github URL into an argument for go get. Shamelessly copied from these examples into such a script. https://gist.github.com/lmatter/dd3c95de7155f9450325c3f9c4153fe2

Here's what I'm using right now, which has the following advantages:

1. It supports both SSH and HTTPS clones of GitHub repos.
2. You can specify the file or directory to open in GitHub, otherwise it defaults to the current directory.
3. After specifying a file/directory you can also specify the branch to use, otherwise it defaults to opening the current branch.

g-open() {
    file=${1:-""}
    git_branch=${2:-$(git symbolic-ref --quiet --short HEAD)}
    git_project_root=$(git config remote.origin.url | sed "s~git@\(.*\):\(.*\)~https://\1/\2~" | sed "s~\(.*\).git\$~\1~")
    git_directory=$(git rev-parse --show-prefix)
    open ${git_project_root}/tree/${git_branch}/${git_directory}${file}
}

A few potential improvements for the future:

1. Combine and clean up the two sed commands.
2. Support non-GitHub repositores.
3. Allow the user to choose an alternative branch by using --branch instead of it being determined by parameter location.

Because one more is likely a must :)

function gh() {(
    set -e
    git remote -v | grep push
    remote=${1:-origin}
    echo "Using remote $remote"

    URL=$(git config remote.$remote.url | sed "s/git@\(.*\):\(.*\).git/https:\/\/\1\/\2/")
    echo "Opening $URL..."
    open $URL
)} 

Tested on MacOS:

• calling gh from a non git repo gives you an error message and exists
• calling gh from a repo... opens it. Works with github, gitlab, etc...
• calliing gh <remote> opens . For instance gh upstream.

I developed a small gem giturl to open github and github enterprise web pages for specified directories. Please try it.
(Sorry, I didn't know igrigorik/github.bash.)

• usage

  $ giturl -o .
  https://github.com/shinyaohtani/giturl/lib/
  

• how giturl works
  I used these four git commands.

  $ git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree
  $ git rev-parse --show-prefix
  $ git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
  $ git config --get remote.origin.url

• installation

  $ gem install giturl

Just and FYI for Linux users

"open" is native on OS X, on linux you can just define it as alias open=xdg-open,

#Open GitHub from Repo
alias gh="xdg-open \`git remote -v | grep git@github.com | grep fetch | head -1 | cut -f2 | cut -d' ' -f1 | sed -e's/:/\//' -e 's/git@/http:\/\//'\`"

this is a nice tool for doing this kinda stuff https://github.com/paulirish/git-open

i made some adjustments https://gist.github.com/ricardoribas/open-branch

The alias commands above using print need the argument escaped. awk '{print $2}' should be awk '{print \$2}'.

Full command here:

alias gh="open \`git remote -v | grep fetch | awk '{print \$2}' | sed 's/git@/http:\/\//' | sed 's/com:/com\//'\`| head -n1"

This one works great for me https://github.com/paulirish/git-open

I recently updated mine to work regardless of whether you are in the current repo. It supports both relative and absolute paths:

#!/bin/sh

##  Open file or directory in web browser
##  Syntax: git-web $path [$branch]
path=${1:-"."}

if [ -d ${path} ]; then
  file_name=""
  cd ${path}
else
  file_name=$(basename ${path})
  cd $(dirname ${path})
fi
project_url=$(git config remote.origin.url | sed "s~:~/~" | sed "s~git@~https://~" | sed "s~\.git~~")
branch=${2:-$(git symbolic-ref --quiet --short HEAD)}
git_directory=$(git rev-parse --show-prefix)
echo ${project_url}/tree/${branch}/${git_directory}${file_name}
open ${project_url}/tree/${branch}/${git_directory}${file_name}

With the new gh cli tool just use: gh repo view --web

If using VS Code, one could also install the GitLens extension (good for other things too) and use the command palette (cmd + shift + P) > GitLens: Open Repository on Remote

With the new gh cli tool just use: gh repo view --web

even easier, gh browse

@drewbo worked for me on mac, thanks

Edit: Well, I don't actually want to use this, because when I source my .bash_profile now, I get this as a result:

fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

With Github CLI, this is exactly what I was looking:

gh browse .

Thanks @yohanb 🙏

Quick and dirty if you already have the vim plugin rhubarb installed:

vim +GBrowse +q
