git-view ( )

About

Are you also frustrated from moving your hands away from the keyboard to view your git repository on GitHub?

Me too!!!

git-view alleviates that pain by allowing you to chuck away your mouse and instead open it via the CLI!

Note
You should always use git view -h instead of git view --help as the manpage/html files are NOT included.
