Summary

Hi team,

I realise, of course, that this tool is (and should remain!) hosting service/platform agnostic. Having said that, I think it'd be useful if we implemented functions that, in the event the project is hosted on GH or GL (and potentially other common hosting platforms), uses the service's public endpoints (that require no auth) to fetch additional info. Some useful data points that come to mind:

  • Repo description (and other metdata like website, tags, etc)
  • Issue count (open, closed)
  • Pull count

To emphasise: this behaviour should be controlled by a flag (possibly disabled by default even). If you're open to it, I'm happy to work on the implementation myself.

PS Great work on this project:)
