Create a pull request by editing detector.json file if you want more types to be added.

A lot of times I find myself wanting to try some code from github and in order to do so I have to copy the git URL, go to the terminal, git clone, find out the folder name, go to the folder and based on the type of project I need to bundle install, ./gradlew assemble, npm install, pip install ., mix deps.get, make install, you name it. And after that, opening it in my text editor of choice manually... Not anymore!

I welcome and encourage all pull requests. It usually will take me within 24-48 hours to respond to any issue or request. Here are some basic rules to follow to ensure timely addition of your request:

1. If its a feature, bugfix, or anything please only change code to what you specify.
2. Please keep PR titles easy to read and descriptive of changes, this will make them easier to merge :)
3. Pull requests must be made against develop branch. Any other branch (unless specified by the maintainers) will get rejected.
4. Check for existing issues first, before filing an issue.
5. Have fun!
