Leverage the GitHub REST API to retrieve the AcadVault repository contents in a tree format (preferably recursive) so that they can be rendered into the UI.

Useful links -

• GitHub API Docs
• AcadVault Content Repo

Migrate from react95 to react95.

Steps Involved:

• Remove existing react95 library via yarn remove
• Remove the AppBar component and replace it with a similar one from the new library

Reason:

• We require the tree component available in the react95 library

Display the files in a tree like structure as shown here. The individual should be able to navigate effortlessly and get to the required file and be able to download it. This link is a good reference as a how to guide.

The user should be able to download any blob from the AcadVault repo using only the UI. On a higher level, this should completely abstract the AcadVault content repo from a user who only wishes to view and/or download blobs.

Behind the curtains, this would involve -

1. The user selecting a blob to be downloaded
2. Resolution of the blobs' SHA-1 hash
3. Leveraging GitHub's get blob endpoint to download the particular blob using the hash value.

@statebait to guide on the dev efforts required from a frontend/react perspective.
