Github’s network graph is one most elegant tools to track your project’s progress.

Open the network graph of you current project with this shell script.

Just type network.

function network(){
    url=$(git remote -v | grep origin | awk 'FNR == 2{print $2}')
    sub_path=$(echo ${url##*github.com})
    project_name=$(echo ${sub_path:1} | rev | cut -c 5- | rev)
    project_url=$(echo "https://github.com/${project_name}/network")
    cowsay "I'm taking you to $(echo ${project_url})"
    python -mwebbrowser $(echo ${project_url})
}

Network graph

With a little more customization.

function open_url(){
  cowsay "I'm taking you to ${1}"
  python -mwebbrowser $1
}

function gh(){
  url=$(git remote -v | grep origin | awk 'FNR == 2{print $2}')
  sub_path=$(echo ${url##*github.com})
  project_name=$(echo ${sub_path:1} | rev | cut -c 5- | rev)
  open_url "https://github.com/${project_name}/${1}"
}
