Pull request overview
This PR introduces a new brew source command to open formula source repositories directly in a browser, complementing the existing brew home command which opens project homepages. The implementation extracts repository URLs from formula metadata and supports GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Codeberg, and SourceHut.
Key Changes:
- Adds repository URL extraction logic with regex patterns for five major hosting platforms
- Implements fallback strategy checking head URL, stable URL, and homepage in sequence
- Includes test coverage for basic GitHub scenarios and error handling

brew lgtm(style, typechecking and tests) with your changes locally?This PR adds a new
sourcecommand to open source repositories similar to howhomeopens homepages. Formulae homepages are often upstream marketing sites or documentation pages, which require extra work to get to the repository. The command extracts the repository URL from the formula's head URL, stable URL, or homepage. This initial implementation supports GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Codeberg, and SourceHut.
