Description
Currently, if I link to an issue on a private github repository, the link preview is the github "Build software better, together" page.
It would be really nice if (similar to code previews) this replaced the preview with the PR/issue title (and perhaps labels/projects/milestones/assignees).
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by locating the existing code-preview handling and the path that builds previews for GitHub issue and pull-request links. Trace how private-repository links are handled, then define completion as showing the linked title instead of GitHub's error page, with any additional metadata supported by the existing preview design.
