Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work with private repositories?

No. The scanner only works with public repositories. Private repos require authentication which is not supported.

Why is the file tree truncated for large repos?

GitHub's API limits recursive tree results for very large repositories. The tool will show a warning if the tree is truncated.

Is my data stored anywhere?

No. Requests go directly to the GitHub API. No repository data is stored on our servers.

Why does it say rate limit exceeded?

GitHub's API allows 60 unauthenticated requests per hour per IP. If you hit the limit, wait a few minutes before trying again.

Can I search specific files?

Yes. Use the search box in the File Tree tab to filter files and folders by name or path.
