Figures from each repo's GitHub metadata at analysis time.
ReverseProxy is a small command-line tool written in Go that forwards incoming web traffic from one address to another. A reverse proxy sits in front of another server: clients connect to the proxy, and the proxy passes their requests along to a target address, then returns the responses. This can be used to route traffic, change ports, or expose a service at a different address. The tool is distributed as a pre-built binary for different operating systems and CPU types. Running it requires two flags: one to set the local address and port to listen on (defaulting to port 8888), and one to set the destination URL to forward requests to. The README shows a single usage example that listens on port 8081 and forwards all traffic to a target website. The README is sparse and provides no further documentation beyond the command-line flags.
