This application utilizes React.js to create a user-friendly interface for browsing GitHub users and their repositories. It allows users to search for a specific GitHub user and view their details, including followers, following count, avatar image, and bio. Additionally, users can see a sorted list of repositories, alter the order of the repository list, and access detailed information about each repository.

To run this application locally, follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository.
2. Install dependencies using npm install.
3. Start the development server using npm run dev.

The main components and directories in this project include:

• src/: Contains the source code of the application.
  • components/: Reusable UI components used throughout the app.
    • ui/: Shadcn-ui custom reusable components.
  • data/types: Contains types and interfaces used in the project.
  • hooks/: Custom React hooks utilized within the application.

This application uses various dependencies and libraries, including but not limited to:

• React: JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
• React Router DOM: Provides navigation and routing functionalities for React applications.
• Vite: Next-generation frontend tooling. Provides a fast dev server, optimized builds, and more.
• TypeScript: A superset of JavaScript that adds static typing.
• Shadcn-ui: A collection of re-usable components that you can copy and paste into your apps.
• SWR: React Hooks library for data fetching.
• Tailwind CSS: Utility-first CSS framework used for styling.
• Numeral: Library for formatting and manipulating numbers.
• Lucide React: SVG icon library for React.
• react-hot-toast: Toast notifications for React.
• tailwind-merge: Utility for merging Tailwind CSS classes.
• clsx: Utility for constructing CSS class strings.

This project includes end-to-end (E2E) tests using Cypress, a tool for browser-based testing. The Cypress tests validate various functionalities of the application, including header interactions, navigation, user profile details, repository listing, and redirection to GitHub profiles and repositories.

The Cypress tests included in this project cover different scenarios and functionalities of the application. These tests can be found in the cypress/integration directory and are structured to ensure the application functions as expected.

To run the Cypress tests locally, follow these steps:

1. Ensure the application and its dependencies are installed.

2. Start the application's development server.

3. Open a new terminal window and run the following command:

   # Run Cypress tests
   npx cypress open

This command will open the Cypress Test Runner. From there, you can select and execute the available tests, view test results, and debug if necessary.

The repository is integrated with a CI workflow using GitHub Actions. Upon pushing changes, the CI workflow automatically triggers the execution of Cypress tests to validate the application's functionality.
