This PR implements a comprehensive Single Page Application (SPA) showcase for git-artifact that will be hosted on GitHub Pages. The showcase provides an interactive demonstration of the library's capabilities, making it easier for users to understand and adopt the tool.

🎯 Key Features

Interactive Demo Section

  • Tabbed interface with 4 categories: Initialize, Add Artifact, Fetch Latest, and Find Artifacts
  • Copy-to-clipboard functionality for all code examples with visual feedback
  • Real command examples with detailed explanations and parameter descriptions

Visual Git History Concept

  • Custom git graph diagram that clearly illustrates the "horizontal" commit history approach
  • Visual representation showing how artifacts are stored using tags rather than stacked commits
  • Responsive design that adapts to different screen sizes

Comprehensive Content

  • Landing page with hero section highlighting key benefits (Fast & Efficient, CI/CD Ready, Cost Effective)
  • Use cases section with 4 real-world scenarios including Library Distribution, CI/CD Pipeline Artifacts, Embedded Development, and Source Code Dependencies
  • Complete API reference with all commands organized by category (Repository Management, Artifact Operations, Utility Commands)
  • Step-by-step installation guide with quick start examples

Modern UI/UX

  • Responsive mobile-first design with hamburger navigation for mobile devices
  • Smooth scrolling navigation with active link highlighting based on scroll position
  • Beautiful gradient hero section with feature cards and modern styling
  • Hover effects and animations throughout for enhanced user experience

🛠️ Technical Implementation

The SPA is built with vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to ensure:

  • No build dependencies - works directly with GitHub Pages
  • Fast loading times with optimized assets
  • Easy maintenance and future updates
  • SEO optimization with proper meta tags and structured content

Files Added

  • docs/index.html - Main SPA with all content sections
  • docs/styles.css - Responsive CSS styling with mobile-first approach
  • docs/script.js - Interactive JavaScript functionality
  • docs/_config.yml - Jekyll configuration for GitHub Pages
  • docs/favicon.svg - Custom favicon for branding
  • docs/manifest.json - PWA manifest for app-like experience
  • docs/README.md - Documentation for the showcase
  • .github/workflows/deploy-pages.yml - GitHub Actions workflow for automatic deployment

🚀 Deployment

The showcase automatically deploys to GitHub Pages via the included GitHub Actions workflow. Once repository GitHub Pages settings are configured, it will be available at https://praqma.github.io/git-artifact/.

📱 Testing

The SPA has been thoroughly tested across:

  • Desktop browsers at various screen resolutions
  • Mobile devices with responsive breakpoints
  • Interactive features including navigation, tabs, and copy functionality
  • Accessibility with semantic HTML and keyboard navigation support

This implementation addresses all requirements from the original issue, providing a professional showcase that will significantly improve project visibility and user onboarding experience.

Fixes #27.
