No more opening a browser window and fumbling around trying to navigate to your repo. Just type gh anywhere inside your project path and a browser window will open your repo on Github.

| # GH | |
| # by Brock Angelo | |
| # for Mac OSX & Unix | |
| # https://gist.github.com/1917716 | |
| # Description: when you are on the command line and want to open your project in Github, just type "gh". Latest version opens the current branch on github as well. | |
| # | |
| # SETUP: | |
| # 1. Copy this snippet to ~/bin/gh | |
| # 2. Make it executable by running: chmod +x ~/bin/gh | |
| # 3. From the command line, inside your project, type gh and the browser window will open. | |
| BRANCH=$(git branch | grep "*" | awk '{print $2}') | |
| git remote -v | grep fetch | sed 's/\(.*github.com\)[:|/]\(.*\).git (fetch)/\2/' | awk -v BRANCH=$BRANCH {'print "https://github.com/" $1 "/tree/" BRANCH'} | xargs open |
For this to work, you’ll need to do two things:
- Copy the snippet to ~/bin/gh
- Make it executable by running: chmod +x ~/bin/gh
- Reload or restart your terminal, browse into a Github project, type gh and boom!
