TortoiseGit Issue Tracker Integration for GitHub

Question

TortoiseGit has a bunch of issue trackers integration plugins. One such useful plugin is Gurtle which shows the list of open issues during a commit operation so issues can be closed directly during commit.

Does such a plugin exist for GitHub issues integration? Are there any other similar tools for Github issues?

I've found that TurtleHub works okay. You have to build it yourself and install following some pretty arcane instructions . Since Google Code is going away soon, I'll quote those instructions here:

Registering your new C# class can be done by using RegAsm from the command line, as follows:

 RegAsm bin\\Debug\\MyCsPlugin.dll /codebase /regfile:MyCsPlugin.reg 

You'll need to edit the .REG file, by adding another "Implemented Categories" entry that looks like this:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\CLSID{PUT-GUID-HERE}\\Implemented Categories{3494FA92-B139-4730-9591-01135D5E7831}]

Replace "PUT-GUID-HERE" with the same value you used earlier.

Then, merge that .REG file into the registry, and your plugin is ready to go!

The RegAsm command didn't work for me, so I had to provide its full path. My command ended up looking like this:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\RegAsm.exe bin\Release\TurtleHub.dll /codebase /regfile:bin\Release\TurtleHub.reg

Next, I edited the resulting TurtleHub.reg file and added this line at the end:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{B2C6EC0F-8742-4792-9FDC-10635D2C118B}\Implemented Categories\{3494FA92-B139-4730-9591-01135D5E7831}]

After this, I double-clicked the .reg file to add it to the registry.

The parameters are fairly intuitive. There's only one: [username]/[reponame]
