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.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is handy in scripts, documentation and templates where you know the owner, repository and branch but need a consistent, correctly formatted link.

A link to a file at a specific commit SHA instead of a branch name. It never changes, even when the branch moves on.

The URL format is the same, but only people with access to the private repository can open them.
