git-open

I use git-open [1] for this – highly recommended. It supports multiple remotes and works great with custom hosted servers out of the box. [1]: https://github.com/paulirish/git-open

That's right, and for GitLab `glab mr view -w` will work. I wanted to have a tool that works with both and lets you open in browser whatever you're currently looking at. So it opens the PR for current branch, repository home page for main branch and PR creation page for new branch. You can also open the repository with `git open` [1], and create a PR clicking the link you see after pushing to GitHub/GitLab, but the goal was to have all three in a single command.

I love git open[0] but I was always a bit mystified by how a simple "npm install" command can modify what it needs to in order for "git open" to become a valid command. It's convenient but, in my opinion, at a cost of "magic" being done to my machine with a "don't worry about it" attitude. A UX I could get down with would be "npx run git-open" followed by a short CLI that tells me what it's about to do, why, and asks for confirmation. [0]https://github.com/paulirish/git-open

[I'm the author of diff-so-fancy, Steve helped with shipping it as a standalone script] NPM?!? :) A lot of people below are asking why a bash script (that depends on a perl script) is being recommended to install via NPM? The short reason is that NPM is the most straightforward way to get a script installed as a global binary in a cross-platform manner. This approach has worked quite well with `git-open`[0]. Asking all users to deal with the PATH is not my ideal. In addition, I wanted a reasonable upgrade path, in case there are neccessary bugfixes. It's not a great experience if users identify bugs but the fix means they manually find it/download/PATH-ify each time. :/ That said, I'll add some Manual Install instructions to the readme so it's clear how to do this on your own. :) ( Edit: Here they are… https://github.com/stevemao/diff-so-

Made this little jobby last night after stumbling across this: https://github.com/paulirish/git-open which is also awesome. Launch the homepage: gem home gem-name View Issue tracker: gem issues gem-name View Documentation: gem docs gem-name It tries to do some clever stuff like falling back to github url's if the gem creator didn't add explicit links. Falls back to rubydocs if there are no links and the gem isn't hosted on github. To Install: gem install gem-home
