>(2) Saves the webpage it points into a git repo (a simple curl should suffice for most websites)

FWIW I've done something similar and lots of sites that use a lot of JS (and pretty much every single page webpage like twitter and FB) will not re-render correctly just because you have the files. It actually takes a lot of work to clone a webpage, the best solution I've found so far is to print a PDF from a headless chrome (but this has its own problems, like now you have to deal with a PDF).

Even generating the PDF is a lot harder than it seems, at least if you've never done it before, because there are a lot of gotchas (for example, did you know that most websites provide a second stylesheet to be used while printing that makes it look barely messed up, but still clearly broken? I didn't either)

If the PDF format is not mandatory for you, you might be interested in SingleFile [1] (I'm the author) which you can run from the command line. It will interpret scripts and faithfully save a snapshot of a page in a single HTML file.

> lots of sites that use a lot of JS

For many "modern" sites, its really better to just take a screenshot and save the PNG.

Though there are still many sites that render just fine without JS. I've been trying out Brave Browser with JS disabled for some weeks now, and I was surprised how many sites are readable with JS disabled. And so much faster and less jumpy too.
