Configure the "View repository" URL #2498

If an course is using a 3rd party editors, like makecode.microbit.org, a teacher might want to open the repository in such editor rather than GitHub.com. Currently, the teacher needs to open the repository, copy the URL, go to MakeCode, import the URL.

The proposition is to allow the customization of the "View repository" (or maybe an additional button) through a .yml file, e.g. .github/classroom.yml

viewRepositoryFormat: https://makecode.microbit.org/beta#pub:${repo}

(where repo is the repo full URL encoded)
