Description

I tried to configure david against a custom GIT enterprise instance and it works. But it removes the option to get data from repositories from github.com. Is it possible to configure one or more additional GIT hostings? Can you add this functionality?

Research direction
Investigate the current implementation of custom Git hosting configuration in the david www codebase, likely in files like config.js or related modules. Understand how the app handles the single custom instance and why it disables GitHub.com. Then design a solution to support multiple custom instances while preserving the default GitHub.com integration. Look at the API client code to see how endpoints are selected and extended.
