ENVIRONMENT

  • $GIT_BRWS_GIT_COMMAND: Git command to use. If not specified, "git" will be used.

  • $GIT_BRWS_GHE_URL_HOST: When you use your own GitHub Enterprise repository, you can specify its host to this variable. By default, git-brws detects '^github.' as GHE host. If your GHE repository host does not match it, please specify this variable. If your repository is 'https://example-repo.org/user/repo', 'example-repo.org' should be set.

  • $GIT_BRWS_GHE_SSH_PORT: When you set a number to it, the number will be used for the ssh port for GitHub Enterprise URLs.

  • $GIT_BRWS_GITLAB_URL_HOST: When you use self-hosted GitLab instance, you can specify its host to this variable. By default, git-brws detects host matching to '^gitlab.' as GitLab. If your GitLab URL host does not match it, please specify this variable. If your repository is hosted at 'https://your-code.net/user/repo', 'your-code.net' should be set.

  • $GIT_BRWS_GITLAB_SSH_PORT: When you set a number to it, the number will be used for the ssh port for self-hosted GitLab URLs. This is useful when your environment hosts GitLab to non-trivial ssh port URL.

  • $GIT_BRWS_GITHUB_TOKEN: This variable is used for '--pr' (or '-p') only. API access token for github.com. They are optional, but useful for avoiding API rate limit and accessing to private repositories. Please generate a token from https://github.com/settings/tokens/new

  • $GITHUB_TOKEN: Ditto. When $GIT_BRWS_GITHUB_TOKEN is not set, $GITHUB_TOKEN is looked.

  • $GIT_BRWS_GHE_TOKEN: This variable is used for '--pr' (or '-p') only. API access token for GitHub Enterprise instance. It is sometimes mandatory (depending on your GHE instance configuration). Please generate a token from 'https://{YOUR GHE HOST}/settings/tokens/new'.

  • $GIT_BRWS_BROWSE_COMMAND: Command to open URL. If this value is specified, the command is executed with URL as first argument to browse the URL.

  • $GIT_BRWS_SHORT_COMMIT_HASH: Setting 'true' will use 7-letters short commit hash like '78fbce6' for URLs.
