Joomla plugin to display github code into articles

Question

Is there any plugin available for joomla 2.5 to embed code from github repository. For word press there is a plugin to achieve the same (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/github-code-viewer-2/). I wanted to do include code from my github repository into my joomla/k2 articles using something like

{github url='https://github.com/jamescarr/spring-integration/blob/master/spring-integration-file/src/main/java/org/springframework/integration/file/filters/AbstractFileListFilter.java'} 

By looking at the wp plugin I thought of writing my own joomla plugin but WP plugin is using *wp_remote_fopen* function and i did not find the same kind of function in joomla and read some articles about vulnerabilities using such remote_open functions. Here is what WP plugin is doing

function getGitHubFile($url, $ttl = null){
        self::__loadCache($url, $ttl);

        if (isset(self::$cache[$url])) {
            $code = self::$cache[$url];
        } else {
            $code = wp_remote_fopen($url . '?raw=true');
            if ($code == '') {
                return 'You need cURL installed to use GitHub_Code_Viewer';
            }
            $code = str_replace('<', '&lt;', $code);
            self::__setCache($url, $code);
        }

        return $code;
    }

You might want to have a try with http://darcyclarke.me/dev/repojs/ I've managed to include it in a joomla article (by including the javascript code directly in the page) so that one can browse a github repository from within a joomla article.

EDIT: I've fixed the problems mentioned below & published a new plugin on github for Joomla 2.5 & 3.0 - the plugin author should be updating JED soon.

There is a Github Repo plugin for Joomla 2.5 which uses the repojs mentioned by @Jean-Marie Favre.

To get this working on Joomla 3 you need to edit githubrepo.php & change:

   if ( version_compare( JVERSION, '3.0', '<' ) == 1) { 
        if($jquery){
                $document->addScript('//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js');
        }
   } else {
        JHtml::_('jquery.framework');
   }

To just JHtml::_('jquery.framework');

Depending on your server setup you may also see the following errors in firebug:

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://raw.github.com/darcyclarke/Repo.js/master/fonts/repo.woff.
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://raw.github.com/darcyclarke/Repo.js/master/fonts/repo.ttf.

Enabling Cross Domain Requests did not work for me so I fixed these by uploading all the fonts in repo.js to my webserver & editing the 4 paths in repo.js.
