Coding test for Futurice. Requirements: Create an App or Web serive Use Github's API (REST or Graphql).

I first got the idea to search on a specifc user name to see their repositories. After looking through the documentation I saw the possiblity to make it more like a "social" app. The GitHub API gave the possibility to get info for a specific user who they are following and their followers. This is just an early stage and has many possibilites, for example user authentication, chat, or reuse the backend for a mobile application.

I took a litte bit longer then expected on this assignment cause I was having a blast creating it.

How to start the Application

1. git clone https://github.com/code-crow1337/Github-Social.git in your terminal.
2. Do a npm install in root of the project as well /server directory.
3. Create an .env file in the server directory
4. I choosed to authenticate with the Github Api with a so called Personal Token :
   Click on your profile to your right > Settings > Developer Settings > Personal Access Tokens > Genereate new token > Check for Repo > Click on Genereate token.
5. Copy your newly generated Access token into .env
6. Your .env file should have these contents in it:
   PORT={number} PERSONAL_TOKEN={your personal token}
7. To start the server do a npm start in /server directory and npm start in the root of the project .

Possible implementations

1. Login via github to see your personal data right away.
2. Then a user is clicked, take the value and to a re-search.
3. A CTA BTN on search to make it more userfriendly then with 1500ms seconds for possible changes and then fire it to the backend.
4. Using the "Git clone" btn to copy a git clone link to the clipboard.
5. Using more of the Github API data to present and consume the information.
6. Navigation.
7. Try to use the Graphql version of the Github API for learning purposes.

Needs to fix

1. Refactor code for more scalability as well readability.
2. Some styling refactoring to make a more beautiful App.
