git-browse-ci

git browse-ci [remote]

git browse-ci is a git-extras helper that opens the continuous integration page for your repository in a web browser, saving a trip through the hosting provider's web interface.It works purely from the remote URL. The remote is normalized from either SSH (git@host:owner/repo.git) or HTTP form into a browsable URL, and a per-host suffix is appended to reach the CI section:- GitHub hosts get /actions- GitLab hosts get /-/pipelines- Bitbucket hosts get /addon/pipelines/homeThe resulting URL is handed to the platform's opener: open on macOS, start on Git-Bash, powershell.exe start under WSL, and xdg-open on Linux and the BSDs.

remote

The remote whose CI page to open. Defaults to the remote configured for the current branch, falling back to origin.

Only GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket are recognized, and the match is a substring test against the remote URL. Self-hosted instances on a domain that does not contain one of those three words are not detected, and neither are standalone CI services such as CircleCI, Travis CI, Jenkins or Drone, regardless of what the repository actually uses.When the host is not recognized the CI URL ends up empty, and rather than reporting the problem the command asks the browser to open nothing.The URL is built by string manipulation on the remote, so it is a guess, not a lookup. It does not check whether CI is configured, or even whether the page exists.SSH remotes are rewritten to http:// rather than https://, relying on the host to redirect.

git browse-ci is part of git-extras, the collection of git helper scripts started by TJ Holowaychuk in 2010 and now community-maintained.
