Github Integration

Preface

Currently, we copy and paste GitHub issue names + issue number into Google Sheets

We don’t want to leave tt-app, go to Github, find our issue,
then come back to tt-app to complete our entry

It would be neat to see all active issues, assigned to me. When creating my entry for the day.

I checked out Github’s REST API’s which are powered by something called octokit
https://docs.github.com/en/rest/issues/issues

Hurdles:

• I needed to manually input a GitHub token I generated
  Would we want new users to do this? Probably not
  Octokit has a auth flow found here: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/guides/basics-of-authentication

• What type would we add this new ‘array of issues’ to?
  Quick answer is to slap it on the Person type

• When / Where would be the best place to display the issues on the front end?
  Quick answer, when making an ‘Entry’.

Might also be nice to use Ketting with this =) it should work with their auth flows.

On a different note, once we implement more of this I would think each time-tracker 'project' can be associated with 0 or more github repos

Yea, it would make sense to have a repo property on Project.

or how about something like a 'public url' used in Storysuite?

as someone aforementioned, Github would be very developer-centric.

Yeah a list of urls would be dope =)
