Open github link in the app

Referencing pockethub/PocketHub#525 ...

If you click on a link to github, you can select github as the default application but it still opens up in the browser. Have it open up in the app which will allow you to bypass needing to authenticate again. - memphis518

Just encountered this. Any update? I'm developing an app where I added a 'Report an issue' option that redirects the user to the GitHub issue tracker. Since I have GitHub app installed, I get both the browser and the GitHub app as options to process the link. But when I select GitHub it just opens the browser (which makes the GitHub option redundant). - ADTC

The linked issues are related but also different from each other. :)

I know they aren't exactly the same, but I'll try to address them all at the same time.

More GitHub links are opened with the app now, but not all of them take to the correct place.
For example, opening https://github.com/jonanp/ForkHub/issues/ will only open https://github.com/jonanp/ForkHub/

I'll keep improving this behavior, but from now on I'll have to address each link type one by one so I'll first try to identify all the links, and then start adding each item with it's corresponding test.

👍 Thank you so much! Looking forward to an update :)

I'm tracking the progress with links in #93.

Please comment on that issue if you want to add any link.
