Open URL in browser

Open websites in your default browser from the terminal — YouTube, GitHub, Google, and full URLs.

Open sites in your default system browser without leaving the terminal.

Quick start

arka open youtube
arka open github.com
arka open https://news.ycombinator.com
arka browse google
open google in browser

Site aliases

Common names map to URLs automatically:

Name	Opens
youtube	https://youtube.com
google	https://google.com
github	https://github.com
reddit	https://reddit.com
wikipedia	https://wikipedia.org
hackernews / hn	https://news.ycombinator.com

Full https:// URLs and domain.tld patterns work as-is.

Arka keeps the path and query you provide. So open https://example.com/docs?a=1 opens that exact URL instead of inventing a new one.

Natural language examples:

arka open this exact url https://example.com/docs?a=1
arka repair broken links in this file

vs play_youtube
