Improve repository discoverability and usability through better documentation structure and SEO optimization.

Changes

  • LICENSE: MIT license already present with correct copyright (no changes needed)
  • README.md: Replaced top section with clearer H1 "Get Next Line (C)", keyword-rich description, streamlined Quick Start with build/run commands, API overview, and files of interest
  • docs/index.html: Added GitHub Pages index with SEO meta tags (title, description) and links to repository and main source file

Updated README Structure

# Get Next Line (C)

Get Next Line is a compact C implementation of get_next_line for reading lines 
from a file descriptor. It includes example usage, a simple test harness, and 
minimal plain-C helper functions for buffer handling.

## Features
- Read a single line from a file descriptor
- Minimal plain-C implementation (no external deps)
- Example usage and a simple test harness included

## Quick start
Build:
gcc -Wall -Wextra -Werror -o gnl get_next_line.c get_next_line_utils.c main.c

Run:
./gnl example.txt

Removes verbose Build, Usage, Notes, and Testing sections in favor of concise API reference and files list.

Original prompt

Search engines (Google, Bing, etc.) need time to discover and index your repository. This typically takes:

  • GitHub's own search: Should find it immediately once the PR is merged
  • Google/Bing: Usually 1-7 days for initial indexing, sometimes longer for new repositories
  • GitHub Pages: Must be enabled in repository Settings → Pages → set Source to "Deploy from a branch" and select the branch with the docs/ folder

To help search engines find your repository faster after merging:

  1. Enable GitHub Pages in Settings to activate the docs/index.html
  2. Add topics/tags to the repository (Settings → Topics)
  3. Share the repository link on social media or developer forums
  4. Request indexing via Google Search Console (if you have an account)

The changes in this PR (improved README keywords and meta tags) will help with ranking once indexed, but indexing itself requires patience.
