⭐️ Star Track

This project is a React (TS) application that fetches and displays the top GitHub repositories based on the number of stars they have received. It uses Vite as the build tool, React as the UI library, Tailwind CSS for styling, and local storage for data persistence. The project includes testing using Vitest and Testing Library, although due to time constraints, there are limited test cases available.
