This test assignment aims to create and deploy an application that shows the git commit history of the master (main) branch of the repository where the code is located.

In order to display commits, the application should receive a Personal Access Key. We will address it by adding an input field that will ask the user to insert the Key for the first time. After a page refresh, the key must remain stored in the browser. Once the list of commits is displayed, let’s add more interactivity to it. The application should have a “Refresh” button, which will re-fetch and render the list of commits.

Finally, as an extra kick to the application, we might want to add a countdown (30 seconds) which will be displayed next to the button and refresh the list of commits automatically. When the list of commits is received, the countdown starts over.

The page will refresh every 30 seconds OR by manual click by the user. To prevent overlapping I used the AbortController.

Each time the counter resets I set the new lastRefreshMs to trigger the new API call and restart the counter again.

I used Firebase Hosting to public the test project. You can reach it here: https://commit-history-test.web.app/
