Share a private GitHub repository as a read-only link — no collaborator invites, no GitHub account needed for the person you send it to.
IT'S COMPLETELY FREE
Live at github-unlisted.com.
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.
- Install the app on GitHub and pick which repositories it may read.
- Create a link from your dashboard for any of those repos.
- 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.
- 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.
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 for the complete statement.

Parts of the website and app have been maade with AI - Claude 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.
