GopherFetch FAQs

Question 1

How does GopherFetch help me understand GitHub repositories?

Accepted Answer

It fetches a repository's file tree, intelligently filters out boilerplate and binaries, ranks important files, and then generates a Markdown summary including the directory structure and key file contents, effectively building a README for repos without one.

Is a GitHub token required to use GopherFetch?
