Git Web Launcher
Launching 🚀🚀🚀 from command line to GitHub :octocat: for Chrome
Using Git Web Launcher
Install globally:

In a git repo folder via command line:

Why just web, because its short and easy to remember.
An example using Git Web Launcher
In the terminal, in the protractor repository, under the folder path protractor/lib/driverProviders/ typing in web by default will navigate to the origin master url on GitHub found in the .git/config and navigate to the folder lib/driverProviders.
The result is https://github.com/cnishina/protractor/tree/master/lib/driverProviders
The contents of the .git/config is as follows:
[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = true
bare = false
logallrefupdates = true
ignorecase = true
precomposeunicode = true
[remote "origin"]
url = git@github.com:cnishina/protractor
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
[remote "upstream"]
url = git@github.com:angular/protractor
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/upstream/*
If this is the first time running it, it will download ChromeDriver, launch Chrome and navigate to chrome://version. It will parse the command line for Chrome and navigate to the url above.
