codebrowser.nvim is a Neovim plugin that allows you to open the current line of code in your web browser. This is particularly useful for navigating to specific lines in version-controlled repositories hosted on platforms like GitHub, GitLab, etc.
Using lazy.nvim
{
'rajneesh2k10/codebrowser.nvim',
config = function()
require('codebrowser').setup({
urls = {
{
description = "GitHub",
base_url = "https://github.com/your_username/your_repo/blob/main/",
line_number_anchor = "#L" -- GitHub line anchor
},
{
description = "GitLab",
base_url = "https://gitlab.com/your_username/your_repo/-/blob/main/",
line_number_anchor = "#n" -- GitLab line anchor
}
-- Add more configurations as needed
}
})
end
}
- Open the current line in a web browser using a configurable base URL.
- Support for multiple repository URLs, with a choice menu for selection.
- Configurable anchor characters for different platforms (e.g.,
#L
for GitHub,#n
for GitLab). - Automatically detects the file's relative path within the Git repository.
Open the current file in the browser anchored to the current line number: :OpenCodeInBrowser
If more than one URLs are configured, a choice menu will be displayed to select the desired portal.
To setup the plugin, call the setup function with a table containing the URL configurations. You must configure at least one URL. Every URL configuration must contain a description
, base_url
, and line_number_anchor
key.
For example:
urls = {
{
description = "GitHub",
base_url = "https://github.com/your_username/your_repo/blob/main/",
line_number_anchor = "#L"
},
}
