Show HN: I made a tool to open files from git in one line. Useful? (arnorhs.com)

Very handy. Also, you can do something like this:

    git config --global alias.open '!sh ~/gitopen.sh'

Which lets you invoke it like:

    git open diff master

Edit: Alternately, if you save the file somewhere in your path as "git-open", you can run it with "git open" as well.

Looks neat. I'm just curious, what is the motivation for naming this `gitopen` rather than `git-open`, which allows `git open` with no configuration?

If you use vim and git, you should check out Fugitive, which adds loads of really useful Git integration into Vim:

The last five vimcasts go through what this plugin can do, and are really worth the time:
