but the issue is where i would put the repeater control in my master page? sharepoint 2013 only allows editing .html files?

Answer 1

You should be able to edit both the HTML or .master page (though editing the .master is not recommended). Are you able to use the design manager on the site to generate the necessary snippet that you can place in the .html? In the example you linked, it looks like he is using the top navigation. You can do the same for the .html page by generating a snippet for the top navigation and pasting it to where ever you want in your .html master page.
