Hyperlinks (a.k.a. HTML-like anchors) in terminal emulators

[ Update 2025-03-24: Commenting is disabled permanently. Previous comments are archived at web.archive.org. ]

Most of the terminal emulators auto-detect when a URL appears onscreen and allow to conveniently open them (e.g. via Ctrl+click or Cmd+click, or the right click menu).

It was, however, not possible until now for arbitrary text to point to URLs, just as on webpages.

NOTE

You may not need local branches for all pull requests in a repo.

To fetch only the ref of a single pull request that you need, use this:

git fetch origin pull/7324/head:pr-7324
git checkout pr-7324
# ...

#Adding an existing project to GitHub using the command line

Simple steps to add existing project to Github.

1. Create a new repository on GitHub.

In Terminal, change the current working directory to your local project.

##2. Initialize the local directory as a Git repository.

git init

Make push/pull work with a remote non-bare repository

Sometimes it is necessary (and desireable) to work on a git repository on multiple development machines. We want to be able to push and pull between repositories without having to use an intermediary bare repository, and for this to work symetrically in both repositories.

First clone we clone an existing repository:

git clone ssh://user@hostname:/path/to/repo

By default this will name the remote as origin, but let's assume we want to reserve that name for a master repository that commits will eventually get pushed to:
