I've created another PR on Spacemacs repository to https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/pull/15388. Feedback is welcome. If you are using Magit with GitHub / GitLab (or hosted versions of these services), then you can view, create, update Issues and Pull Requests from within Magit Status buffer using the`@` key binding The PR is a summary of the https://practical.li/spacemacs/source-control/forge-configuration.html.

I've removed the github layer from the https://github.com/practicalli/spacemacs.d configuration, as the github layer doesnt really add anything over the git layer. If you used Grip to preview GitHub flavoured markdown, then you should keep the github layer.
