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

@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 🙏
