[gitbrowse] - How to get url to a specific commit

[rbhanot4739]

Let's say I have a commit hash, is it possible to get remote url to that specific commit hash ? I know its not too difficult to write such a function by hand but I was looking if it was possible to do with gitbrowse.

opts.gitbrowse.what = 'permalink'

I think you misunderstood my question, so what i want to do is get full url for a commit hash for a repo and not the commit hash for a line or file.

What i eventually want to do is copy the complete commit url from the git log picker. Since there is no builtin action for that, so I was thinking of adding a custom action for that and for that I was thinking of leveraging gitbrowse for that.

Yeah, sorry — I meant commit.

gitbrowse is designed in a weird way—it only opens the current word as a commit hash, and you can't define it explicitly. I would expect this to be supported:

-- Snacks.gitbrowse.open { what = 'commit', commit = 'hash' }

So, you can't use gitbrowse directly for this purpose without patching the source code.

---@class snacks.gitbrowse.PatchedConfig : snacks.gitbrowse.Config
---@field commit? string
---@param opts? snacks.gitbrowse.PatchedConfig
local gitbrowse = function(opts)
  opts = opts or {}
  local expand = vim.fn.expand
  vim.fn.expand = function(what, ...) ---@diagnostic disable-line
    if what == '<cword>' then
      return opts.commit or expand(what, ...)
    end
    return expand(what, ...)
  end
  Snacks.gitbrowse.open(opts)
  vim.fn.expand = expand
end

opts = {
  picker = {
    sources = {
      git_log = {
        actions = {
          gitbrowse = function(picker, item)
            gitbrowse { what = 'commit', commit = item.commit }
          end,
        },
        win = {
          input = {
            keys = {
              ['<M-o>'] = { 'gitbrowse', mode = { 'i', 'n' } },

I haven't tested it, but it should work.
