[Feature]: Integrate GitHub Repositories Fetch Feature

[Sahilll15]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We need to implement a feature that allows users to add a GitHub repository URL and fetch repository details. The goal is to provide users with the ability to input a GitHub repository URL, and our system will fetch and display the repository's information using the GitHub API.

Describe the solution you'd like

Acceptance Criteria:

Input Field for Repository URL:

A user interface element (e.g., input field) where users can enter their GitHub repository URL. Fetch Repository Data:

When the user submits the URL, the system should use the GitHub API to fetch details about the repository. The GitHub Personal Access Token should be used for authentication. Display Repository Details:

Handle cases where the repository URL is invalid or the API request fails. Display appropriate error messages to the user. Security:

Ensure that the GitHub Personal Access Token is kept secure and not exposed in client-side code. Additional Notes:

Consider using a backend service to securely handle the GitHub API requests. Ensure that the feature is tested for different types of repositories and handles edge cases gracefully. Tasks:

Create the user interface for inputting the GitHub repository URL. Implement the functionality to fetch repository details using the GitHub API. Display the fetched data in a user-friendly format. Implement error handling and validation for the input URL. Test the feature and handle any edge cases.

@Sahilll15 For this the user needs to generate their own auth token and provide to the website, so that everytime we could fetch the user required repo details. Right?

[Sahilll15]

Can you please tell me as what is the use of Access Token in the case then, when we can easily fetch the public repos details directly without going for personla tokens. And how are we planning to make sure the user enters his own GitHub ID and not others, maybe with the help of compulsory GitHub login. Please let me know.

[Sahilll15]

i guess in that case we cannot verify that but for now it can work right or else we can also implement Github Oauth in the application

[Sahilll15]

we are not even checking if it is a valid username or not in the leetcode/code forces username we can work through with GitHub repos and other content like that before we can integrate the whole GitHub oauth

[Sahilll15]

I guess you can just let me work on this if it works and if it does not moving ahead u may not merge this PR but let me try integrating it if it works or not
