Some of the flags and options are subject to change in the future. Ideas are welcome. Ideas are bulletproof (V).

gitweb is a command line interface I created mainly to learn Rust.

cargo install gitweb

Download the binary from the latest release and put it in your PATH.

gitweb will by default open the remote in the browser of the current repository.

gitweb 0.1.11

USAGE:
    gitweb.exe [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

FLAGS:
    -h, --help       Prints help information
    -V, --version    Prints version information
    -v, --verbose    Set the verbosity of the command

OPTIONS:
    -b, --branch <branch>      Set the branch
    -B, --browser <browser>    Set the browser
    -r, --remote <remote>      Set the remote

gitweb will open the current branch on the remote repository. You can override the behavior by giving the --branch flag with the custom branch you want to open in the browser.

gitweb tries to start one of the following browser (in that order of priority):

• --browser option given in the command line
• $BROWSER on Linux 🐧 or %BROWSER% on Windows 🏁 (this is a non standard variable)
• the default web browser on the system

gitweb will open the origin remote if it exists. You can override the behavior by giving the --remote flag with the custom remote you want to open.
