Now that I'm making better use of git, raising GitHub Issues, and tagging releases, etc..
I want a shortcode to be able to quickly reference GitHub repositories, issues, releases and stuff.
Proposed solution
[github] shortcode.
This first version will simply be used to create links to GitHub.
The shortcode will accept positional parameters representing:
owner
repository
content type
identifier
so that I can type something like
[github bobbingwide oik-bob-bing-wide issues 1]
and end up with a link to this issue.
1
Initial limitations
It'll be very basic. It won't use the GitHub API to extract information from GitHub. It'll just make links a bit friendlier than typing the whole URL. The 'text' part of the link will be a bit more pleasing to the eye.
