Description

What Currently Happens?

There's no way to open GitPoint to a specific GitHub entity via URL scheme.

What Would You Like To Happen?

It would be nice if you could launch GitPoint to specific GitHub entities (repos, users, commits, etc.) via a URL scheme, requested on Twitter here.

Research direction
Investigate React Native deep linking capabilities using Linking API or libraries like react native deep link. Review the existing navigation structure in the project to understand how entities are routed. Check comments for any prior attempts or design ideas. Implement URL scheme handlers for entities like repos, users, and commits, and add configuration for both iOS and Android.
