``sh`
npm install new-github-issue-url
`js
import newGithubIssueUrl from 'new-github-issue-url';
import open from 'open';
const url = newGithubIssueUrl({
user: 'sindresorhus',
repo: 'new-github-issue-url',
body: '\n\n\n---\nI\'m a human. Please be nice.'
});
//=> 'https://github.com/sindresorhus/new-github-issue-url/issues/new?body=%0A%0A%0A---%0AI%27m+a+human.+Please+be+nice.'
// Then open it
await open(url);
