Add GitHub as social handler in 'Personal' plugin

[schmittner]

It would be nice to be able to add a GitHub identity. Adding the following class to personal/personal/personal/class_socialHandlers.inc should do the trick:

class socialHandler_github extends socialHandler
{
  static function getName ()
  {
    return _('GitHub');
  }

  protected $baseurl = 'https://github.com';
}

Cheers

According to the rules that are displayed when creating a new account:

• may only contain alphanumeric characters or hyphens
• cannot have multiple consecutive hyphens
• cannot begin or end with a hyphen
• maximum 39 characters

Somebody already made a regex for this: https://github.com/shinnn/github-username-regex
