Adds a Gitingest button to GitHub repository pages (works on all repo paths)

GitHub to Gitingest Button

A Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey userscript that adds a Gitingest button to GitHub repository pages.

Gitingest converts GitHub repositories into LLM-friendly text digests, perfect for feeding codebases to AI assistants.

Features

Adds a native-looking GitHub button next to the "Copy path" button

Works on all repository pages including:

Main repo page: github.com/owner/repo

Subdirectories: github.com/owner/repo/tree/main/src

Files: github.com/owner/repo/blob/main/README.md

Branches: github.com/owner/repo/tree/develop

Handles GitHub's SPA navigation (button persists across page changes)

Uses GitHub's Primer design system for consistent styling

Install Script

Screenshot

The button appears next to the copy path button in the repository header:

konsist-documentation / advanced /  [📋] [Gitingest]

How it works

1. Detects if you're on a GitHub repository page

2. Finds the breadcrumb/header area

3. Inserts a button styled like GitHub's native buttons

4. Clicking opens gitingest.com with the same path in a new tab
