cgithub is a lightweight GitHub alternative frontend that scrapes GitHub's server-rendered HTML instead of using the API. Data is usually extracted from embedded JSON data from <script type="application/json"> tags that GitHub includes for hydration.

# Local dev server (Cloudflare Workers runtime)
pnpm run dev

# Deploy to Cloudflare Workers

# Run tests
pnpm test

Stack: Hono (web framework) + Eta (templating) + TypeScript, running on Cloudflare Workers

Source files:

• src/app.ts - Hono routes
• src/worker.ts - Cloudflare Workers entry (config in wrangler.jsonc)
• src/scraper.ts - GitHub HTML fetching and JSON extraction logic

Templates: views/*.eta - Eta templates with layout inheritance. views/layouts/base.eta is the HTML shell every page uses; views/layouts/repo.eta wraps it with the repository header, nav, and search box. Templates address each other from the views root (/layouts/base.eta) or as siblings (./_tree). On Workers, runtime code generation is disallowed, so scripts/build.ts precompiles templates to src/views.generated.ts. The same script records the build's git describe output in src/build.generated.ts for the page footer. Both are gitignored and regenerated by the dev/deploy scripts.

Static files: public/static/*, served by Workers Static Assets.

Routes:

• GET /:owner - User or organization profile with pinned repositories
• GET /:owner/:repo - Repository info with directory listing
• GET /:owner/:repo/tree/:branch/:path* - Directory listing
• GET /:owner/:repo/blob/:branch/:path - File content view
• GET /:owner/:repo/commits/:branch/:path* - Commit history of the repository, a directory, or a file
• GET /:owner/:repo/wiki - Wiki home page
• GET /:owner/:repo/wiki/:page - Wiki page (also /:page/:oid for a revision)
• GET /:owner/:repo/wiki/_pages - Wiki page index

• Use for (const ... of ...) instead of .forEach()
• Update scraper.test.ts
