Attached: 1 image My most used #git alias? "git browse" to open the repo's remote URL in the web browser. Works for #GitHub, #AzureDevOps, #BitBucket, etc. Set it up with: git config --global alias.browse 'start `git config remote.origin.url`' "start" only works on Windows tho. Requires a https (not ssh) remote git URL. The screenshot shows additional "echo" code in the .gitconfig file because I like my git aliases to display the actual code they are executing before they run it.

      I believe you can replace start with the command that is suitable for your system (e.g., xdg-open for linux).

    This is how I was able to get ssh urls to work into something GitHub can open in the browser. Other sites may need more adjustments

    Also, open is the Mac command

    	browse = "!open $(git config remote.origin.url | sed \"s/:/\\//;s/git@/https:\\/\\//\")"

    not that it’s a better solution, but a different solution is that for github at least, the gh cli is fantastic and has commands for opening the repo both in the cli and the browser, and you can also open issues, prs, etc. I have gh prv aliased to open the current branch’s PR in the browser.

    ❯ gh alias list
c: pr create -a @me -f
ca: pr create -a @me -r myteam -f
co: pr checkout
prurl: pr view --json url -q ".url"
prv: pr view -w
