I use "hub browse" a lot. It's a really quick way to open a local directory's Github repo.
Unfortunately, it's quite limited. No way to open a specific file, for example, or jump to a specific branch other than the current one.
I'd love to have something like "gh open".

It's on our roadmap! https://github.com/cli/cli/issues/217
>`gh` isn't part of homebrew/core yet as it's very new. So we'll be adding it in the coming months
It's been part of homebrew/core for something like two weeks: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formul...

Thanks for the shout! That was a community contribution and I totally missed it! It was an outdated version, but should now be updated to the latest 0.5.4. Really appreciate you sharing this. :)
Congratulations on shipping!
Just installed it on fedora using dnf and tried my usual git commands using hub instead. So far so good. I haven't tried any hub specific features yet though.
It is nice that I can just dnf install hub

Thanks! I'm definitely curious what you think when you start venturing into creating and checking out PRs in particular, and how we're managing the `pr status` and `issue status` commands in terms of what's shown vs. what you expect or would like to see to get the most relevant context.
The different homebrew installation you referred to is because `gh` isn't part of homebrew/core yet as it's very new. So we'll be adding it in the coming months, but for now that's just a way for us to maintain our own tap and still provide an easy install/upgrade path.
