# GitHub1s

GitHub1s is a browser-based code explorer built on VS Code. Browse files, search code, and review changes without cloning a repository. Connect your preferred model to the built-in AI chat for help understanding the code.

**[🌐 Try it now](https://github1s.com/conwnet/github1s)** · [📖 Usage guide](docs/usage.md) · [🔮 AI setup](docs/ai.md#configure-a-model)

## 🚀 Quick start

Add **`1s` after `github`** in a repository URL:

```text
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode
        ↓
https://github1s.com/microsoft/vscode
```

Public repositories can be browsed **without signing in**, subject to the upstream services' access and rate limits.

You can also browse GitLab repositories at [gitlab1s.com](https://gitlab1s.com) and published npm packages at [npmjs1s.com](https://npmjs1s.com). See the [usage guide](docs/usage.md) for URL formats, authentication, and navigation.

## ✨ Features

- **Explore a project.** Browse directories, find files, and search code in a familiar VS Code interface.
- **Trace a change.** Switch branches or tags, inspect commits and file history, and review pull or merge request diffs on GitHub and GitLab.
- **Understand complex code.** Ask GitHub1s AI about a file or selection, then follow up on implementation details.
- **Access private repositories.** Connect your GitHub or GitLab account, or supply an access token with the necessary permissions.

Remote repositories are **read-only**. Search and code navigation depend on the repository platform and available upstream services; see [capabilities and limits](docs/usage.md#capabilities-and-limits).

## 🤖 GitHub1s AI

Get a repository overview, explain a file or selection, and ask follow-up questions. The assistant can look up relevant code as you chat.

Click **Toggle Secondary Side Bar** in the layout controls at the top of GitHub1s to open the AI panel.

Use a **model endpoint that accepts browser requests**. Messages and code context are sent to the selected endpoint. See the [AI guide](docs/ai.md) for configuration and data handling.
