Ask AI about any GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repo. Get instant summaries, chat with AI about the code, then install with one click using Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or your own tools.
A Chrome extension that adds an "Ask your GIT" button to every repository page. Instead of reading through long READMEs — ask AI what the project does, how to use it, and install it with one click.
The problem: You find a cool repo, but understanding it takes 10-30 minutes: read README, figure out the stack, install dependencies, configure environment.
The solution: Click "Ask your GIT" → AI explains the project → one click to install with your favorite AI coding tool.
Click "Quick Summary" for an instant AI overview:
- What the project does
- Key features and tech stack
- How to get started
Click "Ask AI" to chat interactively:
- Ask questions about the repo without reading the code
- Multi-turn conversation with follow-up questions
- 3 model tiers: Haiku (fast, free) / Sonnet (deep) / Opus (max)
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | Generates a Claude command that clones and sets up the project |
| Cursor | Opens the repo directly in Cursor IDE |
| Codex CLI | Sends a Codex command to clone and configure |
| Custom Tools | Add your own IDE/tools with {url}, {owner}, {repo}, {stack} placeholders |
Ask your GIT now has a lightweight desktop companion flow for hackathon demos:
- install the Chrome extension;
- run
bash native-host/install.sh; - open GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket;
- click Ask your GIT to analyze the page and send install commands to Terminal.app, iTerm2, or Warp.
This is the minimal Krisp/Superwhisper-style pattern: a browser extension plus a local installed helper, without a full Electron shell yet.
Automatically detects the project's tech stack:
- Node.js / TypeScript / Next.js
- Python (requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, Pipfile)
- Rust (Cargo.toml) / Go (go.mod)
- Ruby / Java / Docker
Before installing, see key trust indicators (GitHub only):
- Stars, License, Last commit date
- 25 tool presets — Windsurf, Zed, JetBrains, VS Code, and more
- Terminal Bridge — execute commands directly in Terminal.app, iTerm2, or Warp
- Dark mode — full support for system and GitHub dark themes
- Keyboard shortcut —
Cmd+Shift+I/Ctrl+Shift+I - One-click mode — skip dropdown, instantly copy default command
- Zero tracking — no data collection, no analytics, fully open source
Or install manually:
- Download DMG from the prototype download site
- Drag Ask your GIT Companion.app to Applications and open it once
- Go to
chrome://extensions→ Enable Developer mode - Click "Load unpacked" → select
~/Library/Application Support/Ask your GIT/extension - Visit any GitHub repo — the button appears next to the Code button
For a local demo build:
chmod +x scripts/build-prototype-package.sh
./scripts/build-prototype-package.shThe zip is written to dist/askyourgit-prototype.zip, and the macOS installer image is written to dist/askyourgit-macos.dmg.
For the demo, open the DMG, drag Ask your GIT Companion.app to Applications, then launch it. If macOS blocks the unsigned app, right-click → Open.
