repo-open

Terminal window
repo-open [-p|--print] [-r|--root]
           repo-open -h | --help

Opens the web page for the current repository’s origin remote in a browser (via open-url). Deep-links to the current branch when it exists on the remote — falling back to the remote’s default branch (main/master) otherwise — and to the current sub-directory when run below the repo root.

The remote URL is normalized from HTTPS and SSH/scp forms (git@host:owner/repo.git, ssh://…, https://…). The web path layout is provider-specific; the provider is resolved in order:

  1. git config browse.provider   (per-repo or --global override)
  2. Hostname heuristic           (github / gitlab / gitea / bitbucket;
                                    codeberg → gitea)
  3. Default: github-style layout

Self-hosted hosts the heuristic can’t classify (a Gitea/GitLab instance on a custom domain) need a one-time override:

  git config browse.provider gitea


Flags:
  --print / -p   Print the resolved URL instead of opening it.
  --root  / -r   Ignore the current sub-directory; link to the repo root.
  --help  / -h   Show usage.
