I'm trying to run the command 

git-hub-browse

but I keep getting the error 

browser not set or set to a non-existent browser.

When I check my default browser:

 sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser

I see:

Selection    Path                           Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable   200       auto mode
  1            /usr/bin/firefox                40        manual mode
  2            /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable   200       manual mode

how can I get prezto to open github using my default browser?

It looks like prezto is relying on $BROWSER environment variable. Try to set it: 

export BROWSER=google-chrome-stable

  • It will be gone after you close terminal. You can put that line into `~/.profile` or `~/.zshrc` or `~/.zprofile` to get it permanent. – svlasov May 13 '15 at 18:50
