如何使用 Windows 命令行在 Web 上打开当前的 GitHub 分支？

Question

I had this command working on my Mac/Linux (Terminal) with OhMyZsh, but once I moved to Windows, I wasn't sure how to update it using Cmdr/ConEmu shell.

Basically, I want an alias that is like "goweb" that will open my default browser to the current branch on GitHub. I'm fine assuming a particular repo. Maybe a later enhancement would pull that as well using, eg, default remote or the like..

Answer 1

This answer hard-codes the repo URL and just appends the current branch. Add this to your user-aliases.cmd (if using cmdr) or wherever you can set aliases.

goweb=@echo off && for /f %i in ('git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD') do start https://<pathToRepo>/tree/%i

Replace with the URL to your repo.

Once this is in there, you can just type goweb from your CLI and it should open it for ya. Saves a few clicks when you need to do something on your current branch on GH.

Answer 2

Another approach is to use the GitHub command-line gh , specifically gh browse , introduced with Gh 1.12.0 (June 2021)

Open the GitHub repository in the web browser.

 gh browse [<number> | <path>] [flags]

Example

$ gh browse main.go --branch main # => Open main.go in the main branch

If you just want the remote URL, add the --no-browser option .
