git-open

git open opens the Git repository in the web browser.

Usage

Open the root of a repository.

$ git open

Open a specific file or folder of a repository.

$ git open main.go

Open a specific commit of a repository.

$ git open 7605d91

Open a specific line, or range of lines, of a file.

$ git open main.go:42
$ git open main.go:42-50

Open a different repository than cwd.

$ git -C ~/src/my-repo open

Providers

By default, four providers are supported: github.com, gitlab.com, bitbucket.org and codeberg.org.

Provider	URL	Commit prefix	Path prefix	Line format
GitHub	https://github.com	commit	tree	L%l-L%l
GitLab	https://gitlab.com	-/commit	-/tree	L%l-%l
Bitbucket	https://bitbucket.org	commits	src	lines-%l:%l
Codeberg	https://codeberg.org	commit	tree	L%l-L%l

To add custom Git providers and their URLs, set their values within the global git config.

[open "https://git.mydomain.dev"]
    commitprefix = commit
    pathprefix = tree
    lineformat = L%l-L%l

This can also be set using the git CLI.

$ git config --global open.https://git.mydomain.dev.commitprefix commit
$ git config --global open.https://git.mydomain.dev.pathprefix tree
$ git config --global open.https://git.mydomain.dev.lineformat "L%l-L%l"

commitprefix and pathprefix are used to template the URI for your provider.

fmt.Println(host + "/" + repository + "/" + commitprefix )
// https://git.mydomain.dev/<repository>/commit

fmt.Println(host + "/" + repository + "/" + pathprefix )
// https://git.mydomain.dev/<repository>/tree

lineformat templates the line anchor where %l denotes the line number. Up to two %l may be provided, denoting the start and end lines. 3 or more %l or unsupported Go-style verbs like %v will disable the line anchor templating and issue a warning.

fmt.Sprintf(lineformat, startLine)          // one %l
fmt.Sprintf(lineformat, startLine, endLine) // two %l
// L42 or L42-L50
