Description

We currently only support GitHub repositories for "repository link" as well as "edit this page". We should support a few of the more common ones as well, such as bitbucket and gitlab.

Here are major repository-specific features we'd want to implement:

• Repository link / issues link
• Edit this page link
• Launch buttons link

Benefit

This would make these theme features usable for people that use these other (quite popular) platforms!

Implementation details

Repository link

For the repository link, here's our code (and likely where a fix would be):

https://github.com/executablebooks/sphinx-book-theme/blob/master/sphinx_book_theme/topbar/repobuttons.html

Edit this page link

We seem to be using the PyData Sphinx Theme get_edit_url function for this already, so we should figure out how to make it support non-GitHub repositories:

here's the PyData theme function for this:

https://github.com/pydata/pydata-sphinx-theme/blob/055ae27cdc6801d6abba0c43bfa9cfd3a359e1b9/pydata_sphinx_theme/__init__.py#L481

launch buttons

Here's the templating for our launch buttons:

https://github.com/executablebooks/sphinx-book-theme/blob/master/sphinx_book_theme/topbar/launchbuttons.html

And the Python logic that handles how we build these buttons:

https://github.com/executablebooks/sphinx-book-theme/blob/master/sphinx_book_theme/launch.py

Maybe we can re-use the get_edit_url for this somehow as well.

This would require changes here and here.

In particular raw git remotes should cover a lot of use cases.
