gh-browse: Open a specific branch in the web browser.
$ gh browse --branch ${branch_name}
try on your machine
The command "gh browse --branch ${branch_name}" is used in the context of the GitHub CLI (Command Line Interface) utility.
Here is what each part of the command means:
- "gh": This is the executable command for the GitHub CLI.
- "browse": This is a sub-command used to open a GitHub repository, commit, pull request, or other important aspects in the default browser.
- "--branch": This flag specifies that you want to open a specific branch.
- "${branch_name}": This is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the branch you want to view. For example, if you want to view a branch called "feature/branch-name", you would replace "${branch_name}" with "feature/branch-name".
So when you run the command "gh browse --branch ${branch_name}", it opens the specified branch in your default web browser, allowing you to conveniently view and navigate that branch's content on the GitHub website.
