+# Open the Selected Lines In GitHub With GBrowse
+
+The [`vim-fugitive`](https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive) plugin comes with
+the `:Gbrowse` command.
+
+> Open the current file, blob, tree, commit, or tag in your browser at the
+> upstream hosting provider.  If a range is given, it is appropriately appended
+> to the URL as an anchor.
+
+I would try this from repositories hosted on GitHub and get an error. Reading a
+bit further into the `:Gbrowse` documentation I can see why.
+
+> Upstream providers can be added by installing an appropriate Vim plugin.  For
+> example, GitHub can be supported by installing rhubarb.vim, available at
+> <https://github.com/tpope/vim-rhubarb>.
+
+I was missing the [`vim-rhubarb` plugin](https://github.com/tpope/vim-rhubarb).
+After installing that, I can open the current file in GitHub by running
+`:Gbrowse`.
+
+If I make a visual selection of any number of lines, then I can go into command
+mode again typing out `Gbrowse` with the automatically preceding visual
+selection tags. This will open the file on GitHub with those lines selected.
