50k ft — Why care?

Swap github.com in a repo URL for gitdiagram.com to get an architecture diagram, gitingest.com for an LLM-readable dump, deepwiki.com for generated docs, or gitmcp.io to let your agent query the repo live over MCP. Pressing the period key on a GitHub repo opens it in browser VS Code.

Transcript excerpt
Artful tricks you probably should not know, part three, two, four. Did you know if you go to a GitHub URL and change GitHub to get diagram, you got this insane diagram of the entire code base mapped out for you. Now, if you go to the GitHub URL and change GitHub to get ingest.com, it converts the code base into an agent readable format that you can directly share with your AI agent to streamline your work. Now here's the craziest one. If you go to GitHub and then press period on your keyboard, it opens the repo in VS code in your browser. And you could do things like use the search feature or even add extensions. I have tons of GitHub secrets. So just comment get, and I'll send it over to you. Cheers.
