    Fix: Replace wget with git clone for authenticated GitLab repository · 64fb1c09
    Jaypaul Barrow authored
    Issue: Invoke-WebRequest and wget were downloading HTML login page
    instead of raw file content due to GitLab authentication requirement.
    
    **Changes:**
    
    Windows Guide:
    - Added Option A: Download via web browser (recommended)
    - Added Option B: Use git clone (works with auth)
    - Added Option C: Copy from WSL2
    - Added file verification command to detect HTML vs YAML
    - Updated WSL2 Ubuntu section with git clone method
    
    Linux README:
    - Replaced wget with git clone in Quick Start
    - Replaced wget with git clone in Download Compose File section
    - Added verification step (head -n 5 to check for HTML)
    
    **Why this fix:**
    - GitLab raw file URLs require authentication
    - wget/Invoke-WebRequest download sign-in page HTML
    - git clone properly handles GitLab authentication
    - Users get valid YAML file, not HTML
    
    All download methods now work correctly with authenticated repository.
