git-to.dev

git-to.dev resolves short, fuzzy paths to GitHub repositories. A path such as git-to.dev/oai/cx matches an owner and repository, then redirects to the best matching GitHub URL. It can also find the shortest unambiguous path for a given repository. No account or stored short-link record is required.

The application is built with Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. It uses the GitHub REST API for owner and repository discovery.

Local development

pnpm install
pnpm dev

Open http://localhost:3000. Set GITHUB_TOKEN (or GH_TOKEN) to increase GitHub API rate limits; unauthenticated requests are supported.

Docker

Build and run the production image:

docker build -t git-to-dev .
docker run --rm -p 3000:3000 git-to-dev

The image uses Next.js standalone output and runs as an unprivileged user. To use authenticated GitHub API requests, pass a token when starting the container:

docker run --rm -p 3000:3000 -e GITHUB_TOKEN git-to-dev

Development container

Open the repository in a Development Containers compatible editor and choose Reopen in Container. The development container builds the development target from the same Dockerfile, installs the locked dependencies, and forwards port 3000. Start the app from its terminal with:

pnpm dev
