+Sometimes when I'm browsing some code in Vim, I'll want to open up the a file
+in GitHub. This is usually so that I can grab a URL to share as a point of
+reference in a conversation.

+`:Gbrowse` which will open up the current file for the current commit on the
+current branch.

+current branch has previously been pushed up as a remote. It doesn't work so

+
+```
+:Gbrowse main:app/models/user.rb
+```
+

+A shorthand of that for the current file looks like this:
+
+```
+:Gbrowse main:%
