A git sub-command to view your git repository in the web browser!

About

Are you also frustrated from moving your hands away from the keyboard to view your git repository in the browser?

Me too!!!

git-view alleviates that pain by allowing you to chuck away your mouse!

Note:
You should always use git view -h instead of git view --help as the manpage/html files are NOT included.
