About:
GitOpen is a command-line utility that instantly opens the remote repository's GitHub page in your default web browser. It automatically detects the current repository's remote URL and handles various hosting services like GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. This tool saves developers time by eliminating the manual steps of navigating to a project's web interface.
Key Features:
  • Opens repository homepage directly from the terminal
  • Supports GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket remotes
  • Zero-configuration required for standard setups
  • Can open specific pages like issues or pull requests
Use Cases:
  • Quickly accessing a project's GitHub page to file an issue
  • Opening a repository to review pull requests or CI status
  • Navigating to a project's wiki or documentation
Alternatives:
  • gh – GitHub's official CLI is more powerful but requires authentication and is heavier
  • hub – Hub provides broader git wrapper functionality, while git-open is focused solely on opening URLs
