Cloudflare Tunnel doesn't directly handle DNS resolution for the GitHub repository itself. Your Windows application is responsible for resolving the GitHub repository's hostname (e.g., `github.com`) to its IP address when making API requests or cloning the repository. Cloudflare Tunnel handles DNS resolution for the *public hostname* you configure in your `config.yml` file, routing traffic to your Windows machine based on that hostname.
