## What it is



Sometimes you need to show someone a private repo — a client, a recruiter, a friend reviewing your work — without adding them as a collaborator or asking them to make a GitHub account. Unlisted Repo gives you a private link to a clean, read-only file browser for that repository. You stay in full control: access is granted and revoked by you, through GitHub.



## How it works



1. **Install** the app on GitHub and pick which repositories it may read.

2. **Create a link** from your dashboard for any of those repos.

3. **Share it.** Anyone with the link can browse the code in their browser — no sign-in, nothing to install.



Done with it? Revoke the link in one click, or remove the repo's access in your GitHub settings. The link stops working immediately.



## Features



- **No account for recipients.** They just open the link and read.

- **Full read-only file browser.** Folders, files, an expandable file tree, and a "find a file" search across the whole repo.

- **Syntax highlighting** for code and **rendered Markdown** — READMEs display formatted, the way they do on GitHub.

- **README front and center.** Opening a repo shows its README first.

- **Auto-revoke timer.** Optionally set a link to expire after a number of days, weeks, months, or years — or never.

- **One dashboard.** See every repo, which ones are shared, copy or revoke links, filter and search.

- **You hold the keys.** Grant or revoke access anytime from GitHub; revoking takes effect right away.



## Privacy



Your code is read on demand through GitHub's official app permissions and shown in the browser. Share links carry no passwords or tokens — only an opaque, single-purpose identifier tied to one repository. Nothing about your repository is stored on our side beyond the link mapping you create. Read [Privacy](https://www.github-unlisted.com/privacy) for the complete statement.

## AI use disclaimer



Parts of the website and app have been maade with AI - [Claude](Claude.ai) under strict manual review, guidelines and manual testing.



These parts include

- UI responsive design

- Parts of next.js development

- Research and resource aggregation for practices for Github apps

- Research and resource aggregation for upstash on vercel for database

- Accessibility enhancement on web UI

- Parts of user facing documents, texts etc for better readability



**Use of AI in this project is higher than what I normally use, this is for two reasons**

- I've been sick and unable to sit at my workstation. So I have been using ipad and RDP to remote into it. Delegating tasks under such condition was a necessity. 

- Web apps aren't really my thing.
