gh-repo: View a repository in the default web browser.
$ gh repo view ${repository} --web
try on your machine

This command is using the "gh" command-line tool to view a GitHub repository in a web browser.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "gh": It is the command-line interface (CLI) tool for GitHub, which provides an easy way to interact with GitHub from the command line.

  • "repo view": It is a subcommand of "gh" that allows you to view a GitHub repository.

  • "${repository}": This is a placeholder for the name of the repository you want to view. You need to replace "${repository}" with the actual name of the repository.

  • "--web": It is an option that specifies to view the repository in a web browser. By adding this option, the command will open up the repository in a new tab in your default web browser.
