How to open and view repo in the browser from lazygit?

[hanpham32]

I know that pressing "o" while selecting a branch opens a new PR, but what about viewing the repo in the browser? Thanks!

Is viewing the entry page of the repo really what you want?

What I personally find more useful is to open the PR that corresponds to the currently selected branch. I have custom commands for this which I just added to the wiki.

We could consider adding these as builtin commands, but I'm reluctant to do that because they depend on an external tool (although that's maybe not a big problem, we have precedence for this already with the git flow tool), but also because they only work for github, not for the other hosting services we support.

The one you're suggesting refers to PRs. The feature I'm looking to have is the ability to open the browser and redirect the user to the repository! Is there a custom command for that yet? Having a built-in command for that would be useful.

That was my question. The following custom command should do that:

  - key: "G"
    command: "gh browse"
    context: "global"
    description: "Show github repo in browser"

This is what I'm looking for. thank you!
