GitCloak

GitCloak is a simple web frontend that lets you browse GitHub repositories and view their contents. It provides an easy-to-use interface to navigate directories, view files, and also renders README.md files. It is still a work in progress, but the basic functionality is there.

Instead of using the GitHub API or screen scraping, GitCloak interfaces directly with the GitHub repository using the git protocol. This should make it more resilient to changes on the GitHub side, and also allows future modifications or forks to support other git hosting services like Forgejo or GitLab instances.

Features

Browse directories and files in GitHub repositories.
View the content of files directly in the browser.
Responsive design with Bootstrap for a clean and professional look.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Python 3 (tested with 3.12)

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

 gitcloak
```
Open your browser and navigate to:
```
http://localhost:8107/
```

Development
