hub find files for shareability

[chernjie]

The problem I'm trying to solve:

I want a shareable link of a specific file or line range to be shared with my team mates for easy references

Use cases:

• share the URL with my team mates
• if possible, generate the blob/{filename} url for share-ability
• bonus, append specific line numbers e.g. blob/{filename}#L12:34

How I imagine hub could expose this functionality:

Opens the find/{ref} url on github

1. hub find - opens find/{ref}
2. hub find {filename} - opens find/{ref} and pre-fill the find textbox

Current proof of concept I have, named ~/bin/git-find

#!/usr/bin/env bash

__hub_find(){
    if test 0 -eq "$#"
    then
        hub browse -- find/$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)
        return $?
    fi

    hub browse -- search\?q=filename:"$*"
}

__hub_find "$@"
