Thanks, appreciate the comment. I built RepoRunner because I kept losing time in the same part of my workflow. I’d work on a project, push/pull changes from GitHub, then need to run the latest version locally to check the UI, test changes, and catch bugs. The process is reasonably straightforward, however it was slower and more repetitive than it needed to be: pulling the repo, installing dependencies, running the right commands, starting services, opening the right localhost URL, checking logs, and restarting projects when something changed. I wanted a cleaner way to go from “latest repo on GitHub” to “running locally on my machine” without that setup step constantly slowing the workflow down. So I built RepoRunner as a small Windows desktop app to make running local GitHub repo projects smoother. I figured other builders were probably running into the same issue, so I made it public. It’s still early, and it’s free to use with up to 5 saved repos while I keep improving it.
Good luck!!! Stoked for you and all your time spent creating this!
