browse makes it easy to open files in Github from RStudio. Try the
Browse to remote file addin while highlighting text in a file.
Alternatively, use Link to remote file to automatically copy the url
to your clipboard. This makes it easy to share links in Slack, Github,
and Twitter!
You can install browse with:
devtools::install_github("tmastny/browse")browse now supports Bitbucket and Gitlab.
You can also use
browse::browse()
browse::link()in the RStudio console to browse to the file and line where your cursor is in the editor.
And inside and outside RStudio, it also works as a command-line tool:
You can use a relative path from your working directory, or an absolute path, as long as the file is in a git repo.
# working directory is the top level of repo
browse("R/browse.R")
browse("R/browse.R#L6-L9")
# working directory is the R/ folder of repo
browse("../README.md")
# relative or absolute paths to other repos
browse("~/rpackages/dplyr/DESCRIPTION")
