web

stash web [-p/--private] [-b/--browser <browser>] <shortname>

Opens a url-type item in the browser. Pass -p / --private to open in private/incognito mode. Pass -b / --browser to specify a browser binary (e.g., firefox, google-chrome); this overrides the browser field in stash.toml. Without a specified browser, the system default is used (or, for --private, tries Firefox, Chrome, Chromium, Brave, and Vivaldi in order).

If the item has a stored private-mode preference (set via stash browser --private), private mode is activated automatically even without -p.

Browser resolution order: --browser flag > per-item stored browser (stash browser) > browser in stash.toml > system default.

Private mode resolution order: -p flag > per-item stored private preference > private in stash.toml > off.

stash web gh
stash web gh --private          # incognito / private mode
stash web gh --browser firefox  # use a specific browser (overrides config)

Browser name shorthand

Anywhere a browser name is accepted (--browser, stash browser, stash add -b), you can use the shortest unambiguous prefix of a known browser name instead of the full name:

stash web gh -b fi        # resolves to firefox
stash web gh -b go        # resolves to google-chrome
stash web gh -b brave     # resolves to brave-browser
stash web gh -b vi        # error: ambiguous (vivaldi, vivaldi-stable)
stash web gh -b vivaldi-  # resolves to vivaldi-stable

Unknown names (not in the built-in list) are passed through as-is, so custom browsers always use their exact binary name.

Built-in private-mode support: firefox (--private-window), google-chrome / chrome, chromium, chromium-browser, brave-browser, vivaldi, vivaldi-stable (--incognito). chrome is accepted as an alias for google-chrome.

Custom browsers: add a [browser_flags] section to stash.toml to enable private mode for any other browser:

[browser_flags]
opera      = "--private"
my-browser = "--incognito"
