Create a markdown link to a GitHub issue

In RStudio, links to issues are automatically recognized. This function creates intermediate markdown links to entries of the form rstudio/rstudio#1100

Usage

link_gh_issue(x, home_repo = NULL)

Arguments

x

A string, usually lines of files that contains issue numbers.

home_repo

Optional, but if supplied, will be stripped.

Value

A markdown link linked issue to GitHub issue

Details

Note: doesn't (yet) support without /

Basically transform repo/org#xx -> [repo/org#xx](https://github.com/repo/org/issues/xx).

Afterwards, we use markup_href() to create a cli link
