reveal on git webpage

Reveal the current file on your Git hosting webpage (GitHub, GitLab, etc) directly from VS Code.

Usage

1. Right-click a file in the Explorer, or open a file in the editor.
2. Run the command Reveal on Git Webpage from the context menu or Command Palette.
3. The file will open in your browser at the correct location on your Git remote.

Supported Git Hosts

• GitHub (including GitHub Enterprise)
• GitLab (including self-hosted)
• Other forges (falls back to GitHub-style URLs)

Features

• Reveals the currently open file (or selected file in the Explorer) in your default browser, at the corresponding location on your Git remote (supports GitHub, GitLab, and similar forges).
• Supports both branch and commit views, and will include the current caret line if invoked from the editor.
• Automatically detects the correct remote (prefers origin), branch, and file path.
• Handles various remote URL formats (HTTPS, SSH, SCP-like, etc).
• Works with multi-root and subfolder repositories.

How It Works

1. Detects the file and repository:
   • Uses the VS Code Git extension API to find the repository and file relative path.
2. Finds the current branch or commit:
   • Uses the current branch name, or falls back to the short commit hash if detached.
3. Chooses the remote:
   • Prefers origin, but will use the first available remote if not found.
4. Builds the correct URL:
   • Converts SSH/HTTPS remote URLs to a web URL, strips .git, and builds a blob URL for the file and line.
5. Opens in your browser:
   • Launches the constructed URL in your default browser.
