Changes for version 0.000036 - 2026-11-11
- Add -h|--help and -v|--version to ot (GH#79) (Olaf Alders)
- When an unknown or invalid option leaves no target to open, ot now prints usage and exits 2, or prints a JSON error and exits 2 with --json. Previously it reported "Could not locate file" and exited 1 (GH#79) (Olaf Alders)
- ot --browse and maybe_get_url_from_parsed_text now build the URL from the file's path in its own checkout, using that checkout's remote and branch, so relative paths from subdirectories, ".." paths and absolute paths work. Files not committed on the current branch and files outside a checkout get no URL (GH#83) (Olaf Alders)
- Don't read the port or password of a pasted URL as a line number (GH#75) (Olaf Alders)
- Support Codeberg, GitLab, Bitbucket and SourceHut file URLs, both when building ot --browse links and when opening a pasted URL (GH#76) (Olaf Alders)
- Add the OPEN_THIS_REMOTES environment variable, a comma-separated list of remotes to use for browse URLs. The first one that exists in the repository is used, falling back to origin (GH#77) (Stefan Härter)
- Prefix relative file names starting with + or - with ./ so the editor does not read them as a command or an option (GH#78) (Olaf Alders)
