Slight improvement regarding the git handles completion source

[Nelyah]

Hey @wincent,

I watched your video about adding a custom nvim-cmp source and got inspired to look up your solution. It felt really clunky that I had to maintain a .json files with the relevant handles. Especially if you switch between different repos of different teams (or open-source repos).

I committed this to my dotfiles: Nelyah/dotfiles@f4cdb6a (check out the .config/nvim/lua/completion-sources/handles.lua file from that commit). Using plenary I'm gathering all users from the current repo I'm in, marshalling this into json format and then feeding the output to the function you made.

All the work happens asynchronously. I feel that since a lot of the work originally comes from you, you could be interested in that solution as well! Thanks for showcasing it in the first place 😁

This is great @Nelyah; I think it proves exactly the point that I was trying to make in my video — namely, that with a bit of Lua, you can put together an autocomplete that pretty much fits your specific usecase (whatever that may be) like a glove.

Yes, I definitely agree! Thanks a lot for taking the time to make those videos, they are always very informative and I'm always learning a trick or two.
