Frequently asked questions

What formats are accepted?
Three: ssh:// URLs (ssh://git@host/path), scp-style remotes (git@github.com:org/repo.git), and https links ending in .git. Whatever you paste is encoded verbatim, so the scan yields a string ready for git clone.
When is this useful?
Conference slides, hackathon posters, lab onboarding docs, and workshop handouts — anywhere someone wants to grab your repo without typing a fiddly remote by hand. It is the developer equivalent of a business card.
What happens when a phone scans it?
An https .git link opens in the browser; ssh:// and git@ remotes show as text to copy. The natural flow is scan on the phone, share or copy to the laptop, then git clone.
Does this expose my SSH keys or credentials?
No. The code contains only the remote address you typed — never keys, passwords, or tokens. Access to the repository is still controlled by the host exactly as before, and the code is generated locally in your browser, free with no signup.
