Simplifying project navigation with git-open

Ema Suriano - Sep 26 - - Dev Community

If you are the kind of person that works in different projects at the same time and have a folder of bookmarks with the links to the repositories, then git-open is the CLI for you!

Once installed, the only thing you have to do is run git open from your project folder, and you will see a new browser tab open with the repository linked to it (it takes this information from the origin) with even the branch you are currently working.

Demo

To install it simply run:

npm install -g git-open

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Because it's installed globally, you can access the tool from any project you are working on. Once you get used to the command, it becomes quite natural to use it to have quick access to PRs or issues.

Oh, it works with many providers:
