The URL trick

Just change the domain. That's the whole thing.

The fastest way to start a Repo Read is to never leave your address bar. Swap the host and we take it from there.

// before
https://github.com/vercel/next.js
// after
https://gitpitcher.com/vercel/next.js

≈ 5 seconds from address bar to streaming pitch

The recipe

Three steps. Zero forms.

01

Find any GitHub repo

A project you like, a competitor, your own side-project, a trending repo you saw on Hacker News — anything public on GitHub works.
02

Swap the domain

Change the host portion of the URL from github.com to gitpitcher.com. Everything after — owner, repo, branches, even /tree/main/src — is ignored safely.
03

Hit enter

We validate the slug, send you through sign-in if needed, then stream a structured Repo Read straight into your browser. No form to fill out.

Click any row. Same trick, different repos.

Use it for

Whenever you'd normally read a README.

01

Reading someone else's repo

Want a TL;DR of what a project actually does commercially? Swap the URL and you get a scored Repo Read faster than skimming the README.

02

Reading your own side-project

Your repo has the evidence — code, README, releases. Let Git Pitcher turn it into a monetization and build-readiness read.

03

Scouting competitors

One-click analysis of any competitor's open-source offering. Stack, positioning, quick-wins you could ship next — without reading their code.

04

Triaging trending repos

Skip the rabbit hole. Decide quickly whether a trending repo deserves a real look or a bookmark.

FAQ

The sensible follow-up questions.

Does it work with deep URLs (branches, folders, files)?

Yes. Anything after owner/repo is ignored. gitpitcher.com/owner/repo/tree/main/src resolves to the same Repo Read as gitpitcher.com/owner/repo.

Do I need to be signed in?

You can swap the URL while signed out — we'll open the sign-in modal, then resume the analysis automatically once you're in. No re-typing.

What about private repos?

Swap still works for private repos on Pro, as long as you've installed the Git Pitcher GitHub App on that repo. The URL stays the same shape.

Which mode does it use?

The default mode is Repo Read. From there you can run an Audit or Build Pack.

Is there a browser bookmarklet?

Not yet, but the trick is simple enough that most power users drop gitpitcher.com into their browser's custom search engines with %s as the repo slug.

Now try it on your own repo. Literally swap the URL.
