A command which gives a quick overview of a GitHub profile

See original GitHub issue

Description

This command would send an embed with details about a GitHub user’s profile, like their follower and following count, number of public repos, blog link (if any), etc. All of them will be hyperlinks leading to the user’s profile, their follower page, their following page, and so on.

Reasoning

With the Hacktoberfest starting in less than a day, everyone’s going to be working with Github more than ever during the next couple of weeks. Having a command which gives the user a quick overview of someone’s Github profile on discord itself certainly can’t hurt and is a cool little thing and perhaps even handy to have. I can certainly see this being used if, say, someone wants to quickly navigate to a user’s repositories page - they can just use the command and click on the hyperlink to go straight to the repo page.

Proposed Implementation

.gi <username> would send an embed with several details about the user.

Also, I think .gh would be a better name, especially after the release of the GitHub CLI, which uses gh to interact with GitHub.
