gh-browse: Open the homepage of a specific repository in the default web browser.
$ gh browse ${owner}/${repository}
try on your machine

The command "gh browse ${owner}/${repository}" is a command-line instruction that uses the GitHub CLI tool to open the specified GitHub repository in a web browser.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "gh" refers to the GitHub CLI (Command Line Interface) tool.
  • "browse" is a subcommand of the GitHub CLI tool that allows you to open repositories, issues, pull requests, or other GitHub pages in a web browser.
  • "${owner}" and "${repository}" are placeholders that need to be replaced with the actual owner and repository name. For example, if the owner is "username" and the repository is "my-project", the command will be "gh browse username/my-project".

When you run this command in your terminal or command prompt, it will open the GitHub repository specified by the owner and repository name in your default web browser. This can be helpful in quickly accessing and navigating to the repository's web page for viewing, contributing, or managing the repository.
