GBrowse from GBlame

[tenderlove]

Hi,

When I'm viewing a blame, often I want to look at the commit on GitHub. I'd like something like GBrowse, but it navigates to the commit that corresponds to the sha that's under my cursor. I didn't see any shortcuts for doing this in the docs, so I made one:

augroup fugitive_ext
  autocmd!
  " Browse to the commit under my cursor
  autocmd FileType fugitiveblame nnoremap <buffer> <localleader>gb :execute ":Gbrowse " . expand("<cword>")<cr>
augroup END

I guess this is a "feature request" or a "did I not read the docs completely?" request.

Thanks!

Btw, the main reason I want to view the commit on GitHub is because I'd like to figure out what PR the commit goes with and look at the PR. I'm working on a thing to do that too, but I thought I'd mention why I want to view the commit on GitHub rather than just look at the diff locally.

There's no direct way to do this without also temporarily navigating to the commit object. It would be a pretty reasonable behavior to put on :.Gbrowse, though, especially if paired with #1171. Let's centralize further discussion there.

This is now supported on 2 interfaces:

• :.GBrowse - this might switch to opening GitHub's blame view if support for that is ever implemented.
• :GBrowse <cfile> - this won't change to that, so it's the preferred interface if you're creating a map or otherwise wrapping it.
