Recreating Github in a SPA way


This blog post is exposing the video demoing the new SPA based application built on top of Angular.js that I’ve been developing as a weekend project. The app is completely javascript based application with the purpose to replicate GIthub’s web client leveraging Github’s REST based API.

There are couple of special touches that I did which distinguish it from the Github itself:

  • completely different architectural approach (SPA based app driven by the REST API) than the one Github uses (full page reload),
  • completely responsive (optimized for desktops/tablets/mobiles),
  • different approach in presenting repository details (folder/file hierarchy).

 

Enjoy the video and please feel free to provide the feedback! Hope to share it with you soon…
