gh-browse: Open a specific issue or pull request in the web browser.

$ gh browse ${select}

try on your machine

The command "gh browse ${select}" is likely part of a script or command-line tool that uses the GitHub CLI (Command Line Interface) to open a repository or other resource on GitHub in a browser.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

"gh" is the main command for interacting with the GitHub CLI.
"browse" is a subcommand that tells the CLI to open a GitHub resource in a web browser.
"${select}" is a placeholder variable that can be replaced with the specific GitHub resource that you want to view.

For example, if you replace "${select}" with a repository name, such as "myrepo", the command might be: "gh browse myrepo". This would open the "myrepo" repository in your default web browser.

The "${select}" variable can be replaced with various GitHub resources, such as repository names, pull request numbers, issue numbers, branch names, or even URLs. The specific behavior of the "gh browse" command depends on what resource is provided.

Overall, the command provides a convenient way to quickly open GitHub resources in a browser without manually navigating to the GitHub website.
