Git Browse

Open git repositories, commits, directories, and files in the browser. See also, git-reviewers.

This script can be added as a gitconfig alias to easily browse repositories on Git hosting services (e.g. github). It is built to model arcanist's browse command. It is specifically designed to have no dependencies so it should be easily installable and very portable.

Git Browse supports opening git repositories, commits, directories, and files:

• Bitbucket
• Github
• Gitlab
• GoDocs
• Phabricator
• Sourcegraph
