To use inside vim for example to open the current file at line 10 in the browser.
:!growse %:10
or open the current line which requires a bit more vimscript:
:call system('growse ' . expand("%") . ":" . line('.'))
And can be used as a vim command, to quickly run this vimscript snippet.
:command Growse :call system('growse ' . expand("%") . ":" . line('.'))
:Growse
Install to the cargo path in ~/.cargo/bin
cargo install --path .
Currently only "extra" features are supported for GitHub, the other backends need to be implemented.
There are some additional complications to overcome on custom urls for
backends, which will probably need to be solved via a config file. e.g.
https://mycustomgitlab.com/myorg/myrepo/myproject/ will need to be correctly
handled.
