URL scheme and deep linking #19

Open prud opened 10 years ago

prud commented 10 years ago

CodeHub is a great app and I'd really like to be able to launch it from within my app (which shows GitHub updates and links).

Another GitHub iOS app called iOctocat provides a very simple way for this. Their scheme is ioc:// and every GitHub URL can be appended to achieve deep linking: http://ioctocat.com/faq/ (see last question).

Example: codehub://github.com/thedillonb/codehub/ --> opens CodeHub and navigates to this repository

This would be a great addition and some other developers would use it as well if you document it somewhere ;)

Thanks for your consideration!

Ah! What coincidence! I was just starting on support for that last night. I'm planning on having it in on the next release. Great suggestion!

That would be really sweet. I was just about to post an issue regarding this.

When opening the Link to the repository in Codehub's about screen, the link gets opened in a browser window. Including deeplinking and schemes would of course fix that.

Seems like codehub:// support was included in 2.2.0? Looks good and deep linking is working for lots of links as well. Unfortunately doesn't work for /commit/ and /compare/, but those are definitely not the most important ones.

Thanks!

Yeah, i've added what I deem to be 'preliminary' support for deep linking. I still have a lot of things I want to add, such as commit and compare to make it perfect. I wanted to get the big ones out of the way then fine tune for the other ones. Thanks for your feedback.
