Open a project file on GitHub.

Repo

#!/bin/bash
#
# Open the specified file on GitHub. It will use the master branch by default:
#
#   repo -f app/controllers/application_controller.rb
#
# Specify a different branch:
#
#   repo -b another-branch -f app/controllers/application_controller.rb

if [ -d .git ]; then
  echo "Opening on Github..."

  # Set the default branch to current branch instead of 'master'
  # BRANCH=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)
  BRANCH='master'

  while getopts ":b:f:" option

    case "$option" in
      b) BRANCH=$OPTARG;;
      f) FILEPATH=$OPTARG;;
    esac

GitHub's recommended remote protocol is HTTPS (https://github.com/...), so you might want to filter that on line 19.

Also, line 20 would look a lot more heartwarming if it were HTTPS instead of HTTP. ;-)

@lgarron Thanks for that. Good advice. I have updated the gist accordingly. This will now play nicely with both SSH and HTTPS

Thanks for the handy work. I've made a minor tweak to the script to be able to open any file relative to the parent working tree avoiding the need to specify the complete path on the command line. Here's the updated gist - https://gist.github.com/aritraghoshdastidar/df17ed2d54e293ec7fc92c78a9c0ed0a
