ruby on rails - download github zip file and display contents in web app -

how display contents of github zip file , display contents in web application correct file structure?

could somehow insert zip file database , print contents onto webpage instead of scraping every single file?

making assumption trying build view of contents of zipfile similar githubs representation, after uploading said zipfile server, easiest way to:

use rubyzip zip::zipfile access uploaded zipfile (how store file db depends on needs).
store contents in nested hash , display said hash in view. hash can include drill down links extracted files.

to give simple example stub how parse file (e.g. named test.zip)

zip::zipfile.open("test.zip") |zipfile|               zipfile.each |entry|     # enty / create hash need   end end

you can find more details in documentation.
