+# Open File On Remote Like GitHub
+
+One of my favorite `vim-fugitive` features is being able to run the `:GBrowse`
+command to open the current file or current selection of lines to GitHub in the
+browser. This is useful for getting a shareable URL or even just being a
+starting point for browsing the codebase from GitHub.
+
+VSCode (as well as Cursor) supports this functionality as well. There are a
+couple ways to do it.
+
+First, from the File Browser sidebar you can right click on a particular file or
+directory. Find the _Open on Remote (Web)_ submenu. From there select _Open File
+on Remote_. That will open the file in GitHub with the focused line highlighted
+(or will open to that directory, as the case may be).
+
+Alternatively, you can right click in the file editor and follow the exact same
+steps as described above.
+
+If you're wanting a permalink to the remote that highlights a selection of
+lines, you can highlight that section of lines and right-click the selected
+lines and again follow the steps above.
+
+If your remote is some other host like BitBucket, it will recognize that from
+your project's gitconfig and open to that instead of GitHub.
