Read-only access
Give someone read-only access to files, branches, and commit history. Your share link never grants permission to change the repository.
Share a private GitHub repository
Create a read-only link to your repository. Recipients can browse files, branches, and commits without a GitHub account. Sign in with the GitHub App to create a link.
- Read-only access
- Expires in 7 days
- Your repo stays private on GitHub

Features
GitHub App sign-in
Sign in with a GitHub App scoped to your selected repositories. share.git never asks you to paste or store a personal access token.
Seven-day links
Links expire after seven days. Recipients can open the code in their browser without creating an account or joining your repository.
How it works
- 1
Choose a repository
Paste a GitHub URL or use the owner/repo shortcut. Install the GitHub App on the repository you want to share.
- 2
Sign in and create a link
Sign in as a repository admin. share.git checks your access and creates a short, read-only link that expires in seven days.
- 3
Copy and send the link
Copy the link into a message, review request, or project handoff. They open it and browse the code. No GitHub account required.
Prefill from a repository URL
Replace github.com with share.keysi.dev in an owner/repository URL. We'll open the sharing form with that repository filled in.
A shortcut prepares the form. Only an authorized admin can create a private share link.
From
github.com/octocat/Hello-WorldToshare.keysi.dev/octocat/Hello-WorldOpening this shortcut does not create a share.
Use cases
Code reviews
Ask a trusted developer to explore an implementation without adding them as a repository collaborator.
Project handoffs
Give a client or teammate a browser view of the project while they review the code and documentation.
Mentoring and learning
Share a practice project with a mentor or study partner. Browse the files and talk through the decisions.
Share only with people you trust. A link opens the entire repository, including its branches and history.
Open source and self-hostable
MIT licensed. Inspect the code, adapt it, and run share.git with your own domain and GitHub App. You control the deployment and its credentials.
