#vcs

Read GitHub in real time — no token, no OAuth. Look up any repository by owner/name for its full detail (stars, forks, watchers, open issues, language, license, topics, default branch, timestamps) and pull its commits, contributors, language breakdown, releases, branches, tags, open/closed issues and decoded README. Look up any user or organization profile, list a user's repositories, and run GitHub search across repositories, users and issues/PRs with sort and order. Pass repo as "owner/name" (or a github.com URL). Every call is live (no cache) and returns the upstream GitHub REST shape, paginated with page + per_page (max 100). 16 endpoints. The unauthenticated GitHub limit is 60 requests/hour per IP — this service routes every call through a rotating residential proxy, so each request gets a fresh budget and you are not rate-limited. Built for dev dashboards, OSS analytics, dependency and supply-chain tooling, and repo monitoring. No upstream token, no cache.

Generate .gitignore files as an API — 309 ready-to-use .gitignore templates for languages, frameworks, tools and editors, straight from GitHub's official github/gitignore collection. Fetch the .gitignore for any single technology (Node, Python, Java, Rust, Unity, …), search and list all available templates by name or category (languages, editors/OS globals, community stacks), or — the headline feature — combine several templates into one ready-to-commit .gitignore in a single call (e.g. names=Node,Python,macOS). Ideal for scaffolding tools, project generators, IDEs, CLIs and developer dashboards. Open data from github/gitignore (CC0).
