Type `git open` to open the GitHub page or website for a repository in your browser.

git-open's Issues

Branches named different locally than what is tracked as upstream

When I have push.default set to upstream I think the upstream branch should be opened.

I can put together a PR if you want to offer some guidance in what you are looking for.

Run shellcheck in Travis

shellcheck is great for common bash style/security concerns
https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck#travis-ci-setup

Rewrite in Python?

The sourcebase in bash hasn't been holding up well to all of the string manipulation.

I think it could use a rewrite. Plus it'd open us up to write some tests for all the string acrobatics it's gained.

Personally I'd prefer JavaScript but requiring node seems excessive. Python seems like a reasonable choice, but I'm personally open.

I won't have time to do this myself, so it's open to anyone interested.

support for bitbucket & everything else

Write a man page

git open --help tries to open the man page for the command but there is no man page.

Hopefully somebody is brave enough to write one!

Not sure if the source of such a man page should be troff or something better like restructuredtext or markdown (which can be converted to man pages with rst2man or md2man, but require additional build dependencies)

A large part of the documentation could come from the README.md

Add a --new-pr flag to open pull-request page

My common workflow is:

1. create a branch, commit, push
2. git open
3. click on "Compare & pull request" button
4. once the page loads, fill it out and submit PR

There's not much value in me opening the branch page. ideally a flag like --new-pr would open the create-a-pull-request link directly.

So:

env BROWSER=echo git open
# https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/tree/bootuptime-edit

env BROWSER=echo git open --new-pr
# https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/compare/bootuptime-edit?expand=1

anyone else interested in this one? (looks like #64 basically wanted the same thing)

do bitbucket/gitlab/vsts have similar URLs?

-Requirements?- OMZ Config

I am having trouble getting this to work with the .oh-my-zsh install instructions. First question does this require hub to be installed?

$  git --version
git version 2.6.4 (Apple Git-63)
$ git open
git: 'open' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

Did you mean one of these?
    clean
    clone
    notes
    prune

hub

Is there any way you could get this into hub? It seems more like a missing feature in hub than its own feature! hub has a browse command to open the repo / issues / wiki, but not the pages. It's pretty neat, though.

https://github.com/github/hub

Want more features?

Too bad. This will only just open the primary page of the repo.

if you want more features,

the fantastic https://github.com/jingweno/gh
and the more classic hub project have your back

edits by @davidosomething:

jingweno/gh was deprecated, use https://github.com/github/hub (hub browse) for better GitHub support

Ship 2.0

With the rewrite we'll want to ship our 2.0
Also our model for gitlab configuration changed, so we have a breaking change.

I created a milestone to capture issues that are potentially in scope for 2.0.
https://github.com/paulirish/git-open/milestone/1

bad substitution

I get the following when I type git open

/Users/arian/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/git-open/git-open: line 99: ${ssh_optcode^^}: bad substitution

If an incorrect URL is opened, please provide the following so we can write a test:

Example clone url:

[email protected]:abc/abc-dfg.git

Example branch name:

one-to-one-3

Expected web URL:

It went to the right url

https://github.foo.example.com/abc/abc-dfg/tree/one-to-one-3

Add tests for open.default.remote

as mentioned in #79

Gitblit Support

Using a gitblit repo, it opened the following (wrong) URL:
https://gitblitremoteexample.com/r/my-repo/tree/my-branch

And I think it should open the following:
https://gitblitremoteexample.com/summary/my-repo.git/my-branch

Example URLs

Example clone url:

git://gitblitremoteexample.com/my-repo.git

Example branch name:

my-branch

Expected web URL:

https://gitblitremoteexample.com/summary/my-repo.git/my-branch

Add support for Arch User Repository (AUR)

If an incorrect URL is opened, please provide the following so we can write a test:

Example clone URL:

https://aur.archlinux.org/git-open-git.git or ssh://[email protected]/git-open-git.git

Example branch name:

master

Expected web URL:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/git-open-git

It will be a simple fix. We can add a simple if condition with a regex to check if the URL is of the AUR, and if it is, we just need to append the /packages/ part to the URL.

For example,
URL opened by git open: https://aur.archlinux.org/git-open-git
Actual URL: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/git-open-git

if [ $domain == "aur.archlinux.org" ]; then
  domain="$domain/packages"
fi

How to git open Bitbucket repo instead of /branch/master/?

When I typed git open inside Github project, it opens my Github remote repo page nicely. Example:
https://github.com/paulirish/git-open

But, when I typed git open inside Bitbucket project, it opens my Bitbucket remote repo like this:
https://bitbucket.org/[username]/[repo]/branch/master

How do I open it like this?
https://bitbucket.org/[username]/[repo]
(without /branch/master/ part)

Note:
This Bitbucket project is private project.

Opens ssh.github.com since upgrading

Since upgrading (from which version I'm not sure), git open is opening URLs at a nonexistent ssh subdomain. The repos were all cloned with SSH, in case that has something to do with it. This was never an issue before...

Thanks. Let me know if you need additional info.

---

If an incorrect URL is opened, please provide the following so we can write a test:

Example clone url:

https://github.com/goodguyry/postcss-tidy-columns

Example branch name:

master

Expected web URL:

https://github.com/goodguyry/postcss-tidy-columns

Actual web URL:

https://ssh.github.com/goodguyry/postcss-tidy-columns

Support for Beanstalkapp

Hi,

My request is quite straight forward. Support for http://beanstalkapp.com/ would be awesome! If you need any testing, i'm available for that!

Thanks in advance.

Support opening a tag

If an incorrect URL is opened, please provide the following so we can write a test:

Example clone url:

$ git clone https://github.com/ory/hydra/

Example branch name:

$ git checkout tags/v1.0.0-beta.8

Expected web URL:

https://github.com/ory/hydra/tree/v1.0.0-beta.8

[Feature Request] Open CI URL

Add a flag to open CI/CD tool URL:

git open --cx

Based on the contents of the repo we could identify the CI URLs. However, there are a lot of limitations. For travis, circleci etc. we could identify the URL easily but for self-hosted CI/CD tools like GoCD, Jenkins it will be difficult.

Adding this idea here so that someone could come up with a better way to do it. Let me know if this feature makes sense.

Doesn't open issue link if repository is already open

If an incorrect URL is opened, please provide the following so we can write a test:

Example clone url:

https://github.com/Tadaboody/Rate_My_Config.git

Example branch name:

master

Expected web URL:

https://github.com/Tadaboody/Rate_My_Config/issues

Steps to reproduce:

git-open
git-open -I

Failing gitlab tests

We have two failing tests after the rewrite has landed

@derimagia how did you want to handle these guys?

Page not found

I was testing this plugin with my repo and it opened the URL https://github.com/theoriginalbit/repo//master instead of https://github.com/theoriginalbit/repo/tree/master resulting in GitHub 404'ing.

git open pr

It would be nice to be able to run git open pr and get the first PR it finds for the current branch.

WSL support?

Could you please add support for bash on Windows?

git open a particular file

I was just thinking it would be cool to be able to do something like:

git-open /path/to/file

and have the browser open that file in that branch that one was in ...

chmod a+x ~/bin/git-open

Don't forget to make it executable!

[Feature Request] Provision to have a custom suffix flag

Have a custom flag which will take a value and append to the url before opening

Example:

git open -s pipelines // opens pipelines page
git open -s wiki  // opens wiki page
git open -s projects  // opens projects board 

Repo cloned with SSH is not opening

I have a private github repo with URL in SSH format:

$ git config --get remote.origin.url
ssh://[email protected]/foo/bar.git

When I run git open in iTerm the Terminal app is opening:

Windows cmd installation instructions do not work

The readme says

Windows with cmd terminal
Save the git-open script in any place accessible via your %PATH% environment var.

but that doesn't work. Why would it as the git-open script uses !# which does not work on cmd. It no doubt does work in WSL. Unless git should find it and handle it? I plonked mine in c:\windows\system32, naughty by it should work there AFAIK

However npm I -g git-open installs it just fine.

Sadly though, using nvm-windows loses global installs when you switch versions ;(

Could gitlab support http?

RT

git open --issue open the main github repo page, no open issues page.

Hi, this commando don't open the issues page, just go to the main repo page...
tested on github and gitlab

git open --issue

someone know how fix it?

Thanks in advance,

Fish shell compatibility

I would like to use git-open with Fish but it doesn't worked.

I installed it with fisher plugin manager.

Do you think it could be possible to add git-open support to Fish?

Pipe stdout and stderr to /dev/null

On Ubuntu I get hundreds of lines of output when firefox starts up from the command line. To prevent, that, change the 2nd to last line of the script to:

$open $giturl &> /dev/null

Atlassian Stash support

It's true that HTTP URLs contain /scm/, but that's for read-only access. If you're working with a repo that you can push to, it has an SSH URL that looks like this:

ssh://[email protected]:7999/foo/ken-homedir.git

where foo is a 3-or-4-letter key for the Project (a grouping of repositories).

In this case, perhaps recognizing the port number or the global format of the URL might be necessary. Open to a patch for that?

Could you add a license to this?

A license added to this repo would make it easier for people to use this in their own dotfiles etc. :-)

An option to just print and not open the link

How about git open --print.

2 use cases:

1. I wish to use the URL in some other script
2. I have multiple browser windows open at any point in time, So I wish to open it in a particular window. git open --print | pbcopy would help a lot

The behavior of `git open issue` does not match README

The readme states:

$ git open issue
# If branches use naming convention of issues/#123,
# opens https://github.com/REMOTE_UPSTREAM_USER/CURRENT_REPO/issues/123

However, the current behaviour is better explained by:

$ git open issue
# If branches use naming convention of issues/#123,
# opens https://github.com/REMOTE_ORIGIN_USER/CURRENT_REPO/issues/123

The behaviour in the README makes sense and is intuitive, so it would be good if the actual program could match that.

Support for Gitlab?

Is there any plans to support Gitlab? Specially those repos that are self hosted.

no URL was open...

Hi, I'm using arch + tilix + ohmyzsh and it don't work...

any error message...

someone know how fix it?

even if I use:
npm install --global git-open

Thanks in advance,

Support for detached HEAD state?

If you're in a detached HEAD state, ${2:-$(git symbolic-ref -q --short HEAD)} gives nothing.

If you use git symbolic-ref HEAD and it fails with fatal: ref HEAD is not a symbolic ref, you're in a detached HEAD.

Being in this state, git status gives you, for example, HEAD detached at 1.1b1. You can extract the tag/branch/commit after HEAD detached at and complement the https://github.com/ORG/REPO/tree/EXTRACTED and be able to open repositories in detached HEAD. It worked with the short hash.

...or if you're into an even more pragmatic approach, do an if grep -v 'HEAD detached'; then and extract the hash. :)

More info about detached HEAD: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5772882

New release

Now that #132 has been landed, I'd appreciate a new release, so I don't need to install from git.

Thanks!

Simplify bitbucket src view URL

So bitbucket is supposed to be able to view a branch URL like:

bitbucket.com/user/repo/src/mybranch/

However we're currently mimicking the URL that the site generates like:

bitbucket.com/user/repo/src/commitsha/?at=branchname

I'd prefer to use the simple version, as @derimagia's rewrite does. However it turns out there's a problem with branches including a / (slash) in the name.

---

I've filed this issue upstream: https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issues/14422/source-view-url-of-branch-name-with

Until that's resolved, I think we'll need the longer URL (unless someone identifies a better workaround).

So for now, this is our downstream tracking issue until the BB one is fixed. 😉

cc @nwinkler @davidosomething

linux & windows support

xdg-open for linux. start for windows. would be nice.

gitea and gogs support

If an incorrect URL is opened, please provide the following so we can write a test:

Example clone url:

https://www.mydomain.com/userName/projectName.git

Example branch name:

release

Expected web URL:

https://www.mydomain.com/userName/projectName/src/release

git open commit

How about git open --commit xxxx?

[feature] Bash-it support

Bashit is like oh-my-zsh.

This would be a nice plugin to have.

Markdownlint not linting

The way are tests are currently set up, Markdownlint is not actually linting our Markdown files.

To illustrate this, in master (which is currently green on Travis), this heading is level 4, while the preceeding heading is level 2, which violates MD001 - Header levels should only increment by one level at a time.

This affects both npm run lint:readme and npm run lint:man.

Please Support opening a gist repo

Update the npm package

Would it be possible to update the package published on npmjs.org? https://www.npmjs.com/package/git-open

The current release is over one year old...

git open current upstream

If I have multiple remotes, and I do a git push -u other branchname, I would expect 'git open' to open whatever the current remote is, as opposed to using origin.
