Did you know you can hack GitHub URLs to unlock hidden tools?๐Ÿค”

Most developers use GitHub every single dayโ€ฆ but very few know these shortcuts exist. Once you try them, youโ€™ll never look at GitHub the same way again ๐Ÿš€

Hereโ€™s the magic: just replace github.com in the URL with these ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ”น gitmvp โ†’ Instantly see top contributors of a repo
๐Ÿ”น gitdocify โ†’ Auto-generate clean documentation
๐Ÿ”น gitingest โ†’ Explore and query repos with AI
๐Ÿ”น deepwiki โ†’ Convert code into a structured wiki
๐Ÿ”น gitdiagrams โ†’ Generate diagrams from repo code
๐Ÿ”น uithub โ†’ A cleaner, UI-friendly repo explorer
๐Ÿ”น gitdev โ†’ Extra insights & tools for developers

๐Ÿ‘‰ Example:
github.com/YadavAkhileshh/ChromaCraft
โžก๏ธ gitmvp.com/YadavAkhileshh/ChromaCraft

โ€ฆand just like that, youโ€™ve unlocked a whole new perspective on your project. โœจ

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