gh url takes a branch, tag, or commit ref and outputs the corresponding GitHub URL. It copies the result to your clipboard by default.

gh extension install iloveitaly/gh-url

For local development:

git clone https://github.com/iloveitaly/gh-url
cd gh-url
gh extension install .

gh url [ref] [--no-clip] [--open]

ref can be a branch, tag, or commit SHA. Defaults to HEAD.

gh url          # current HEAD
gh url main     # branch
gh url v1.2.3   # tag
gh url abc1234  # commit

• Outputs the appropriate URL based on ref type:
  • Branch → .../tree/<branch>
  • Tag → .../releases/tag/<tag>
  • Commit → .../commit/<sha>
• Copies the URL to the clipboard automatically (macOS and Linux)
• --no-clip to skip clipboard copy
• --open to open the URL in your browser
• Handles both SSH and HTTPS remote URLs

• gh-pr-url — generate a URL for a pull request
• gh-repo-url — generate a URL for a repository
• gh-compare — generate a comparison URL between two refs
