Integrate support for GitHub comments

[vbrard]

The theme supports disqus comments by default. There are several threads around with different solutions to use alternatives.

One interesting alternative when a site is hosted on GitHub is to use GitHub issues to store a post's comments. This repository has an implementation that includes git hooks to create the issue for a post when the post gets pushed.

The proposal here is to add support for GitHub comments to this theme. This would involve

• Integrating code from the above linked repository. There may be some cleanup involved to fix the directory structure and the formatting.
• Modify the _config.yml so that the user can select between disqus, github or no comment. Each option may have additional specific options.

I'd be happy to help implement this. But I wanted to get your feedback before embarking on this...

Looks cool. Do you know if there's a way for "guests" to add comments without having to login in with a GitHub account?

[vbrard]

From what I saw, it seems to limit commenting to people who have a github account. So this would probably not fit all audiences. On the other hand, it acts as a kind of spam filter...

This would be quite useful
