The free encyclopediafor open-source software.
GitPedia transforms any public GitHub repository into a rich, Wikipedia-style article. Stats, contributors, documentation, language breakdown, related projects — all on one clean page. Free forever.
Principles
Built on four hard commitments.
Instant
Any public repo becomes a full wiki article in seconds. Powered by live GitHub data.
Open
No account. No paywall. No ads. The open-source world deserves an open encyclopedia.
Encyclopedic
Wikipedia-style articles — structured, readable, citable. Not just a README mirror.
Private
No tracking. No cookies. Your browsing history stays in your browser, period.
How it works
From URL to wiki article in three steps.
Search any repo
Enter a GitHub URL, owner/repo, or search by keyword.
Article generated
Live stats, README, contributors, languages — all assembled into a structured page.
Explore & discover
Follow related repos, browse trending projects by language or topic.
Data
Where the data comes from.
GitHub REST API
All repository metadata, README content, contributor lists, language statistics, and release history comes directly from the official GitHub API. Data is cached for 1 hour to balance freshness with rate limits.
AI-Generated Summaries (optional)
When available, GitPedia uses GPT-4o-mini to generate a Wikipedia-style lead paragraph synthesizing the README and repo metadata into a concise encyclopedic introduction. This feature is optional — all articles work without it.
Stack
Built in the open.
GitPedia is built with Next.js 14 App Router, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. Server Components + Incremental Static Regeneration deliver fast, SEO-friendly pages at scale.
Privacy promise
No tracking. No accounts. No ads. GitPedia does not collect personal data, set tracking cookies, or require authentication.
Recently viewed repositories are stored locally in your browser's localStorage and never leave your device. No analytics platform is active.
