GitHub Repository URL Generator

Build common GitHub URLs - repository, branch, file, issue, or pull request - from simple form fields.

Fill in an owner/organization and repository name, then optionally a branch, file path, issue, or pull request number - this tool builds the matching GitHub URL.

The inverse of the GitHub URL Parser - use that tool to go the other direction, from a URL back to its parts.

What Does This Tool Generate?

It builds a correctly-formatted GitHub URL for a repository, a specific branch, a specific file (optionally at a branch), an issue, or a pull request, based on the owner, repository, and relevant details you provide.

Why Use This Tool?

Useful for quickly constructing a link to share - for example, a direct link to a file on a specific branch, or to a particular issue number - without manually typing out the URL structure.

How to Use It

  1. Enter the owner/organization and repository name.
  2. Choose what kind of link you want: repository, branch, file, issue, or pull request.
  3. Fill in the relevant field (branch name, file path, issue/PR number).
  4. Copy the generated URL.

Limitations

This builds the URL text only - it does not verify that the repository, branch, file, issue, or pull request actually exists on GitHub.
