Frequently asked questions
- Can I use GitHero without a GitHub account?
Yes, you can access public repositories in read-only mode through a proxy we provide and is transparent to you. This proxy is used to avoid the low rate limit GitHub imposes when requests are not authenticated. The app only uses this proxy when you are not authenticated.
- Do I need to install anything on my GitHub repos?
No, GitHero works with Personal Access Tokens. You can generate one in your GitHub account settings (the app provides links).
- Where is my token stored?
Your token is stored obfuscated in your browser's local storage. We are working on desktop apps that will store the token more securely. We never store your token on our servers. In fact, we never see your token because it is sent directly to GitHub from your browser.
- Do you support GitHub Enterprise?
Yes. When signing in you can choose between GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise. You will need to provide the URL of your GitHub Enterprise instance.
- Is this a GitHub product?
No, we are not affiliated with GitHub, Inc.
- What's your tech stack
React, TanStack Router, TanStack Query and Primer (the GitHub design system) for the most part.
- The app is not responsive. Will it ever be responsive?
Eventually, yes, but we are focusing on the desktop experience first.
