GithubIssuesExtension: A Swift repository from ambientlight

Github Issues Xcode Extension

Have you even been creating github issues while coding and adding them as //TODO: into your source files? Now you won't need to leave xcode while doing that!

This extension adds github issues support to xcode editor.
Capabilities:

Create new github issue
Modify existing github issue
Remove all TODO: blocks that are linked to github issues if issues are already closed

Commands:

Create new issue template
Create modify issue template
Synchronize Issues (commits issue template to github)
Remove closed issues

Create New Github Issue

Owner and repository name are automatically inferred from the source file header. Project name is treated as a repository, while the name of the the copyright holder is treated as repository owner.

assignee parameter is optional.
Description and Title can be multiline. Empty comment line // or parameter line will end the tile, while in description, empty comment line will be treated as newlines.

Modify Existing Github Issue

If shouldOverrideDescription is not specified, the new description will be appended to existing one.

title, assignee, status, shouldOverrideDescription are optional.

Adding code into issue description

The code in between // <code> and // </code> will be present as part of the issue description. Code language (for syntax highlighting) will be derived from source file extension present in xcode generated source file header. Multiple code blocks are allowed within the same issue. The example demonstrated above will look on github in the following way:

App Store

Will be available later after we play enough with this initial release
