DataKit GitHub plugin

Overview

This plugin provides light-weight GitHub integration for the DataKit command-line tool. It's designed to streamline the process of generating a GitHub project and linking it to a local directory containing a newly created project skeleton. It's intended to be used in tandem with the datakit-project plugin, which helps generate project skeletons for data work and software development.

# and integrate with GitHub with a single command
datakit github integrate
