🛠️ Tricks & Tips

Handy URL swaps for any GitHub repo — reverse-engineer the prompt, get an explanation, grab the whole repo, or open it in an editor.

GitHub URL converter

Paste any github.com/owner/repo URL (or just owner/repo) and get all five variants.

Example: https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp

The five swaps

Replace github.com in the address bar with one of these.

gitreverse

github.com → gitreverse.com

Returns a reverse-engineered prompt for the repo — feed it to an LLM to build a fresh version.

gitreverse.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp

explaingithub

github.com → explaingithub.com

Gives you an explanation of the repo and lets you ask follow-up questions about it.

explaingithub.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp

uithub

github.com → uithub.com

Serves the entire repo as a single text blob — useful for pasting into an LLM context.

uithub.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp

github1s

github.com → github1s.com

Opens the repo in a VS Code editor in the browser — one second, no clone.

github1s.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp

gitingest

github.com → gitingest.com

Shows a summary, the directory structure, and file contents of the repo.
