Is there some way to map entities to github? e.g. we have datasets which are domain models. Those domain models are maintained in github repositories. It would be good to be able to link those together and show an icon or button. Like the button "View in airflow" for airflow pipelines which helps in linking datahub back to airflow.

Looks like DatasetProperties aspect already allows for externalURL to be attached to a dataset. It would just be a matter of attaching the github url to the dataset metadata at emission time, and in the UI dropping in the [View in X] link if that property is present.

@mammoth-bear-12532 Would it be possible to do it via the Documents tab instead? We don't have this mapping somewhere stored so will probably need to add via the UI. The ingestion is by hitting the DB so not sure how would be able to add it to the properties.

yeah probably ... though it will be tricky to figure out when to elevate document urls to the main header
if you want to have Dataset | View in GitHub at the very top

makes sense
