The repo script opens the Git repository you are currently working on in Azure Repos or GitHub from the command line on Linux.
It's that simple! But it saves you clicking and pushing around the mouse when you work with several Git repositories.
$ repo --help
Usage: repo [-h] [-v] [ FILE | - ]
Opens the FILE of a Git repo (or the root of the repo if no file is given) "remotely" in the browser.
If "-" is used as a FILE, the first line of stdin is read and used as FILE.
Available options:
-h, --help Print this help and exit
-v, --verbose Print diagnostic messages
-y, --history Open the history view for FILE
-p, --print-only Only print the URL that would be opened in a browser
