Make the cookiecutter more repo host agnostic #10

Closed TomasBeuzen closed 3 years ago

7 raised the issue of supporting GitLab with the inclusion of a .gitlab-ci.yml file.

This issue touches on the larger issue of making the cookiecutter more hoster agnostic (right now it is very GitHubby). A few things to fix:

Only add the book url if github is selected as the hosting platform: this line
Change the user-checking functionality: this line
Create tests for other supported platforms like GitLab (this will probably be another issue)

Update with more thoughts:

I want to keep the CC as simple but functional as possible
At this point, I can only imagine GitHub and GitLab being used as hosting platforms, so let's stick with accommodating those for now
Ideally, the CC would ask a user if they were going to host on GitHub or GitLab, and then customize the following things it asks based on that response, but unfortunately this conditional format is still under dev in CC (no idea when it will be implemented, if ever)

I'm closing this for now as there hasn't been any further interest. Happy to re-visit this issue if it becomes relevant again.
