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 · 📖 Usage guide · 🔮 AI setup

🚀 Quick start

Add 1s after github in a repository URL:

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.

A repository open in GitHub1s, with the file explorer and README preview

You can also browse GitLab repositories at gitlab1s.com and published npm packages at npmjs1s.com. See the usage guide 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.

🤖 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 for configuration and data handling.
