Git Repository URL Opener

This Bash script allows you to quickly open the remote URL of a Git repository in your default web browser. It's useful for developers who frequently need to access the web interface of their Git repositories (e.g., GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket).

Built partly with the help of Claude
