[Question/Feature Request] URL Schemes? #85

Closed justadaniel closed 7 years ago

justadaniel commented 7 years ago

Hi,

I was wondering if there were any URL schemes for CodeHub? I like to change the URL's in edge to have them open the apps I have installed instead.

So this can be done where if you visit a repo in your browser, you can open the repo in CodeHub, and so on. I haven't implemented this but it's a good idea.

It turns out, to launch repo view in CodeHub when someone navigates to a github repository in edge, I need to own the github website. Other than that there is no custom uri for CodeHub and I cannot think of any use case for it.

Really? When I worked on iOS apps, we would just create a custom url scheme that replaces https:// with appname:// and parse the url to do what we want. So codehub://github.com/<author>/<reponame> or you could even remove the github.com/ all together. Then that would take you to the repo.
