Proxy arbitrary repos from deno.land/x/?

[bcomnes]

Would it make sense to allow the viewing / proxying of any repo from https://deno.land/x/?

e.g. something like https://deno.land/x/gh/USERNAME/MODULE_NAME@BRANCH/SCRIPT.ts for GitHub. Or maybe just https://deno.land/gh/....

Gitlab and others could be supported with alternate reserved prefixes. Just thinking about the long term editorial and maintenance contract of database.json. But maybe its perhaps intended as an editorialized / secondary std.

It seems like maybe the idea behind https://deno.land/x is similar to that of https://godoc.org and/or the go module proxy?

I think we'll leave that to other hosts like pika.dev. In some ways deno.land/x is just way to bootstrap the HTTP module system. Maintaining database.json isn't much overhead.

(Ideally github would just have nice URLs, https://github.com/ry/foo/master/bar.js)

Ok cool thanks for the context. Yes agreed nicer GitHub URL’s would be ideal. Fingers crossed pika supports an npm free workflow from GitHub in the future. Right now it looks like it still needs to be published to a registry.

Or perhaps GitHub’s own registry could support raw imports of assets.
