Open github network graph from command line

Github's network graph is one most elegant tools to track your project's progress. Open the network graph of you current project with this shell script.

Just type network.

function network(){
    url=$(git remote -v | grep origin | awk 'FNR == 2{print $2}')
    sub_path=$(echo ${url##*github.com})
    project_name=$(echo ${sub_path:1} | rev | cut -c 5- | rev)
    project_url=$(echo "https://github.com/${project_name}/network")
    cowsay "I'm taking you to $(echo ${project_url})"
    python -mwebbrowser $(echo ${project_url})
}

With a little more customization.

function open_url(){
  cowsay "I'm taking you to ${1}"
  python -mwebbrowser $1
}

function gh(){
  url=$(git remote -v | grep origin | awk 'FNR == 2{print $2}')
  sub_path=$(echo ${url##*github.com})
  project_name=$(echo ${sub_path:1} | rev | cut -c 5- | rev)
  open_url "https://github.com/${project_name}/${1}"
}
