A command line utility to open git repository page in the browser from the repository location in terminal.
Currently tested only on mac (prior to M1 chip).
Note: You have to have rust installed with cargo to be able to install this utility.
- Clone the repo
- Run
make install
from the repo's directory
- Run
cargo install gitopen
(From The Book: "All binaries installed withcargo install
are stored in the installation root’s bin folder. If you installed Rust using rustup.rs and don’t have any custom configurations, this directory will be$HOME/.cargo/bin
. Ensure that directory is in your$PATH
to be able to run programs you’ve installed withcargo install
.")
Basic usages:
- When in git repository in terminal, run
gitopen
. - After you've opened a branch and you are ready to push and open a PR, run
gitopen -p
. This will push the changes to the current branch and open the PR in the browser. This can be done at any stage during the work on the PR, not just when you're making the first push. - You can open a specific commit. Use
gitopen -c COMMIT
where COMMIT is the commit SHA. - You can open a specific line number of a file. Use
gitopen -l <PATH TO FILE>:<LINE NUMBER>
(note that you have to use the:
separator between the file path and the line number). Example:
> gitopen -l /src/main.rs:10
- If you've added a remote (other than
origin
which is the default) e.g. for a forked repository so the remote is the original repository URL, you can use gitopen to open that remote by specifying its name, for example:
> gitopen -r upstream
Note that gitopen -r origin
is the same as gitopen
.
