Did you know you can hack GitHub URLs to unlock hidden tools?🤔

Most developers use GitHub every single day… but very few know these shortcuts exist. Once you try them, you’ll never look at GitHub the same way again 🚀

Here’s the magic: just replace github.com in the URL with these 👇

🔹 gitmvp → Instantly see top contributors of a repo
🔹 gitdocify → Auto-generate clean documentation
🔹 gitingest → Explore and query repos with AI
🔹 deepwiki → Convert code into a structured wiki
🔹 gitdiagrams → Generate diagrams from repo code
🔹 uithub → A cleaner, UI-friendly repo explorer
🔹 gitdev → Extra insights & tools for developers

👉 Example:
github.com/YadavAkhileshh/ChromaCraft
➡️ gitmvp.com/YadavAkhileshh/ChromaCraft

…and just like that, you’ve unlocked a whole new perspective on your project. ✨

These shortcuts can save you hours, simplify collaboration, and even make your repos look more professional.

⚡ Question for you: Which one blew your mind the most? Or do you know another hidden GitHub hack worth sharing? 👇
