Research direction
Start by reading the git-browser repository, its Makefile, and the existing bootstrap files in src. Determine how the current targets and bootstrap files are structured, then add the Windows RT target and required libraries. Done means the port can be built and tested using a development workflow on the Surface RT.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
To add a new platform to git-browser, you only need create a new target in the make file and create a new bootstrap file in the src folder. Then add whatever libraries you need to impement this.
The hardest part for me is actually testing the code. I don't know how to use visual studio and I'm often not on a windows computer at all. I do have a Surface RT for testing though if someone wants to help me set up a dev workflow I can use.
