How do I know or get the gameObject that a script component belongs to?

Just exploring others work and I open the scripts folders but I don't know how to find the gameObject where this script was created as a component.

Select the project script, right click --> "Find Reference in Scene"

The script can be use in any game object. First open your game selecting ( left click) two times the scene in the project window. After your game is open, If in your game a script is attach to a game object as a component, you can select the script in the Project window. Then after selecting it press right click with the mouse button and a pop up window will appear with options. Select "Find Reference in Scene". This will make a filter in the Hierarchy windows showing you only the Game objects that has this script attach to it.

To clean the filter search just click the "X" on top of the Hierarchy windows.
