Nice tip - open your Github project page from CL

Hey hey!

There's this bash_profile alias I've been using and probably it's helpful for you too:

For MacOS:

alias gh="open \`git remote -v | grep [e-mail] | grep fetch | head -1 | cut -f2 | cut -d' ' -f1 | sed -e's/:/\//' -e 's/git@/http:\/\//'\`"

For Linux (provided by Shawn McElroy in the comments, thank you):
alias gh="$BROWSER $(git remote -v | grep [e-mail] | grep fetch | head -1 | cut -f2 | cut -d' ' -f1 | sed -e's/:/\//' -e 's/git@/http:\/\//'\)"

After that, just use the command gh. It will open your browser with the currently active Git project in Github.

In Linux there's no open command. You should be able to do this if your default browser is set

alias gh="$BROWSER $(git remote -v | grep [e-mail] | grep fetch | head -1 | cut -f2 | cut -d' ' -f1 | sed -e's/:/\//' -e 's/git@/http:\/\//'\)"

It may work on osx as well if you set $BROWSER in your terminal somewhere. Note, I'm on my phone so I couldn't try this but it should be right

Oh wow! Thank you! I edited the article, specified environments and added your script there.

Ooh, good point. Both should work. BROWSER may not always be set either probably
