github tool
Browse any GitHub repository, then draft the docs with AI
Read any public repo in the browser, and get AI help writing the documentation.
GitHub Explorer is a lighter way to read a repository than cloning it. Paste an owner and repository, walk the file tree, and open files as you go.
When you have finished reading, the AI side will draft a README, documentation, or a list of next steps based on what is actually in the project.
What it does
Read any public repository
Move through folders and files without anyone setting up a local checkout first.
Explore a user
Look at everything an account has published, which is useful when you are evaluating someone's work.
AI drafting
Generate a README, documentation, or next steps from the repository's own contents.
Nothing to install
It runs in the browser against GitHub's public API, so no token or CLI is involved.
How to use GitHub Explorer
- Paste a repository as owner/repo and open it.
- Browse the file tree and read the files you need.
- Use the AI actions to draft a README, documentation, or next steps, then edit the result into your own words.
Questions about GitHub Explorer
Can it read private repositories?
No. It reads GitHub's public API without asking for a token, so only public repositories are available.
Is the AI writing based on the real code?
The draft is generated from the files in the repository you are looking at, so it reflects the project rather than a generic template. Treat it as a first pass to edit.
Does it work for any language?
Yes. Files are read as text, so the repository's language does not matter.
