In `@README.md`:
- Around line 203-205: The README shows VITE_API_URL but the app expects
VITE_BACKEND_URL (see src/pages/Login/Login.tsx and src/vite-env.d.ts); update
the env example in README to use VITE_BACKEND_URL with a sensible local default
(e.g., http://localhost:5000) and ensure any other README references are
consistent with the runtime contract used by Login.tsx and vite-env.d.ts.
- Around line 59-62: Replace the placeholder clone URL string "git clone
https://github.com/yourusername/github-tracker.git" in README.md with the real
repository URL (use "git clone
https://github.com/GitMetricsLab/github_tracker.git") and ensure the following
line still uses the correct directory name ("cd github-tracker" or update it to
match the actual repo folder if different); locate the exact snippet containing
the strings "git clone https://github.com/yourusername/github-tracker.git" and
"cd github-tracker" to make the replacement so new contributors can successfully
clone the project.
