How to get the name and person/org of the current repo for use in .gitconfig?

Question

Basically what I'm trying to do is have a handy tool where I can say:

git open

This will just open up the current github repository in your browser. If I can get the name I could just use an alias with https://github.com/{user or org}/{repo name}.

try this bash function

For Linux:

function git-open-url(){
  xdg-open `git config --get remote.origin.url`
}

For Mac:

function git-open-url(){
  open `git config --get remote.origin.url`
}
