Does this skill support GitHub Enterprise?

Absolutely. It supports Enterprise hosts by identifying the hostname in the URL and passing it to the gh command via the --hostname flag.

Can I fetch code from private repositories?

Yes, as long as your GitHub CLI is authenticated with a token that has the necessary permissions for the target private repositories.

Can I view specific lines of code instead of the whole file?

Yes, the skill parses standard GitHub line anchors (e.g., #L10 or #L10-L25) to retrieve and display only the relevant lines with context.

What happens if a file is too large for the GitHub API?

The skill automatically detects large files where the content is null and uses the authenticated download URL to fetch the file via curl.

Do I need to have the GitHub CLI installed?

Yes, this skill requires the GitHub CLI (gh) to be installed and authenticated via 'gh auth login' to function correctly.

개발자 도구

Fetches and displays source code or directory structures directly from GitHub URLs using the GitHub CLI.

This skill empowers Claude to interact directly with GitHub repositories by parsing URLs to retrieve specific files, line ranges, or directory listings. By leveraging the gh CLI for authenticated access, it seamlessly handles public, private, and Enterprise GitHub instances, providing users with instant code context, line-specific snippets, and the ability to perform shallow clones for extensive repository exploration without leaving the terminal.
