GitLab Home Page Clone

The project is academic. It's made to evaluate my level in native web development languages; test my capacity to build advanced user interfaces with HTML, CSS and JavaScript only and learn more things about those technologies. It's a front-end project only. No any back-end API is called. The main goal of this project is to reproduce the old GitLab home page only.
