A modern, fully client-side web gallery that dynamically loads, displays, filters, previews, and downloads images directly from a GitHub repository — without any backend.

📌 Project Purpose

The purpose of this project is to create a lightweight, fast, and visually clean image gallery that can be hosted entirely on static hosting platforms while using GitHub as a real-time content source.

Instead of manually updating galleries or uploading files to a server, this project automatically reads image folders from a GitHub repository and presents them in a professional gallery interface.
