Gitforks is built with create-react-app
, and it is designed to simplify the process of comparing forks of a repository.
To compare forks of a repository, simply go to https://gitforks.netlify.app/{username}/{repo}
.
I do not want to handle authentication for this application, and if I do not cache I will have to call the Github API a lot, so I will be using caching. If you are looking for a specific fork of a repo, it may take up to two hours to show up. I am operating under the assumption that the forks that are most interesting to compare are the ones that differ the most from the original repository, so a newly-created fork will not fall into that category.
Changes to create-react-app
so far:
- Added
src/_redirects
- Deployed to Netlify
- Changed the Title
