binovi

Binovi lets you open the code that you see in text editor – in the remote repository viewer.

How to use

Assuming you are in the git enabled directory that has a remote repository (say, on github) and you'd like to open the selected nugget (or just a single line) of code in the github code viewer, then Binovi helps you in the following way:

1. In visual mode, select one of more lines of text.
2. Do :Bnv
3. If things go right, you should be be able to see your browser popping up with the remote code viewer.

Installation

If you are using Vundle to manage your vim plugins, put this in your vimrc

Plugin 'jvsg/binovi'

Known issues

1. Binovi does not work on MacOS. Not my fault! The open cmdline tool does not recognize # in URLs.
2. Only github supported for now. Adding support for other hosts should not be tough.
