Usage

import newGithubIssueUrl from 'new-github-issue-url';
import open from 'open';

const url = newGithubIssueUrl({
	user: 'sindresorhus',
	repo: 'new-github-issue-url',
	body: '\n\n\n---\nI\'m a human. Please be nice.'
});
//=> 'https://github.com/sindresorhus/new-github-issue-url/issues/new?body=%0A%0A%0A---%0AI%27m+a+human.+Please+be+nice.'

// Then open it
await open(url);
