Feature request: git-link-open-homepage

[psibi]

I have a use case, where sometimes I would want to open the repository's homepage in browser.

Currently, we have this variable git-link-open-in-browser, but that will always make it open via the browser.

I can also probably implement this if there are no objections, once I find some spare time. Would you be open to supporting a separate interactive function for this ?

So you want to call git-link-homepage and sometimes you want it to copy and other times you want it to copy and open the page in the browser?

What determines when you want it to open vs just copy the URL?

Yes

What determines when you want it to open vs just copy the URL?

When someone is asking me to send a repository link (which seems to happening more recently these days), I send them the copy of the URL. When I want to visit the homepage because I want to probably browse some issues - I will use the git-link-open-homepage.

What about adding a prefix argument to git-link-homepage to force an open? 🔗

Yeah, agree. That would be more idiomatic.

This seems to be working fine for my usecase: #125
