Research direction
Examine the current codebase to understand how GitHub repositories are handled (e.g., fetching plugins, URLs). Look for existing functions that parse GitHub URLs. Investigate Bitbucket, GitLab, and Mercurial URL formats and authentication methods. Discuss with maintainers to clarify the desired behavior and scope of support.
