🚀 Auto-Ship

This project aims to build a hosting platform similar to Vercel or Netlify. It allows users to deploy their GitHub repositories and host them with a unique live link.

🧠 Basic Workflow

1. User Input

• Users submit their GitHub repository URL through a form.
• The system validates the URL to ensure it points to a valid GitHub repository.

2. Clone Repository

• The backend clones the repository using Go.
• Cloned repositories are stored in temporary directories with unique identifiers.

3. Build & Host

• The system detects the project type (e.g., HTML, Node.js, React).
• It installs dependencies, builds the project if required, and serves it using a static file server or runtime environment.

4. Assign URL

• Each project is assigned a unique URL (e.g., username.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com/project/12345).
• Reverse proxy settings are updated to map the URL to the hosted project.

5. Show Live Link

• Users receive a live link to their hosted project, which they can copy or share.
