Contributions summary:Amir's primary contribution involves implementing and testing a `LocalGitRepository` to handle local Git folder interactions within the Kubescape platform. They added functionality to retrieve branch names, origin URLs, and last commit information for both the entire repository and individual files. Code changes included modifications to the `go.mod` file to integrate the go-git library, along with the implementation of relevant test suites to ensure the new git functionality works correctly. This indicates a focus on integrating security-related source code analysis within the Kubescape framework.
