feat: add file preview and improve project structure 
- Added file preview functionality, enabling users to view images, text, and markdown files directly within the app.
- Updated project metadata: changed author to "Private.coffee Team" and updated URLs.
- Introduced a main function to allow customizable host and port via environment variables.
- Enhanced raw file serving with MIME type checks and content disposition for better file handling.

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.
