💖 GIT-BROWSE(1) 💖

okay bestie, this is a page from the Git Extras manual, section 1, and it's about git-browse — the little command that yeets you straight to your repo's website. no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

git-browse — pull up the web page for the repo you're standing in, like it's nothing 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

git-browse [REMOTE-NAME] [FILE-NAME] [LINE-1] [LINE-2]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Opens the website of the git repository you're currently in, in your default web browser. that's it. that's the whole thing. it just… takes you there. main character behaviour fr fr 🔥

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • REMOTE-NAME — the name of the remote you wanna browse to. if you don't say which one, it defaults to the first remote. like, it'll pick for you, it's fine, it's helping 🫶
  • FILE-NAME — the name of the file you wanna browse to. yes, you can point it at a specific file, iconic.
  • LINE-1 — the line number of the file you wanna browse to. zooming in on one specific lil line, obsessed.
  • LINE-2 — the line range (from LINE-1 to LINE-2) of the file you wanna browse to. so like, a whole lil chunk of lines, not just one. periodt.

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

just… look at these. they're giving range.

$ git browse
$ git browse upstream
$ git browse upstream bin/git-browse
$ git browse upstream bin/git-browse 42
$ git browse upstream bin/git-browse 1 42

see how it just adds one more thing each time? that's the vibe. remote, then file, then line, then line range. you got this 💜
