Commands

• :OpenInGHRepo

  • Opens the project's git repository page in GitHub.

• :OpenInGHFile

  • Opens the current file page in GitHub. This command supports ranges.

• :OpenInGHFileLines

  • Opens the current file page in GitHub. This command supports ranges.

Registers

All of the commands above optionally take a register, e.g. :OpenInGHFileLines+. In this case, the URL will not be opened in the browser, but put into the register given. This is especially useful if you're running neovim on a remote machine, but want to open the URL locally.

Priority

At first, this plugin try to identify the page url based on the current branch you are working in, and if it fails then switches its base to commit.

This behavior can be inverted via bang !, e.g. :OpenInGHFile!.

Since commit based url tends to have long durablity compared to branch based one, it can be useful in some situation. It won't be affected by subsequent commits, branch deletion after merge, and so on.

Usage

You can call the commands directly or define mappings them:

-- for repository page
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("n", "<Leader>gr", ":OpenInGHRepo <CR>", { silent = true, noremap = true })

-- for current file page
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("n", "<Leader>gf", ":OpenInGHFile <CR>", { silent = true, noremap = true })
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("v", "<Leader>gf", ":OpenInGHFileLines <CR>", { silent = true, noremap = true })

TODO

• Support the current file cursor position
• Support visual mode to open a file in range selection
• Support other version control websites
