GitHub Bottle Opener

When in the console, I often want to open GitHub to look at:

• my current repo
• a particular commit in my current repo
• one of my gems
• someone else’s gem

You could use Hub for this but that’s like using a Swiss army penknife when all you need is a bottle opener.

Instead I use gh, a trivial little script which is already saving me time.

$ gh                  # open current repo on GitHub
$ gh <commit>         # open current repo @ commit on GitHub
$ gh repo             # open my other repo on GitHub
$ gh username/repo    # open username's repo on GitHub
