For double-blind peer review

Share the code,
not the author.

Anonymous GitHub makes a read-only mirror of your repository, pull request, or gist with every trace of identity removed, so you can attach a link to your submission without breaking anonymity.

  • Free and open source
  • Read-only: never writes to your repos

Before · after

The same repository, minus you.

Names, affiliations, emails, and any term you list are replaced across the README, source files, notebooks, and PDF links. Reviewers browse the real thing, not a zip.

What you get

Anonymize, review, manage.

Every mirror is read-only and passes through the same filter, from the README to a PDF's link targets. Monitor it, update it, or remove it the day the decision is out.

Before you sign in

The questions that come up most.

Read the full FAQ →
Why does GitHub ask for write access at sign-in?

GitHub's OAuth scopes have no read-only option for private repositories. Anonymous GitHub only ever reads your repositories; it never pushes, modifies, or deletes anything.

Which file formats are supported?

Source code with syntax highlighting, Markdown, Jupyter notebooks, PDFs, images, and GitHub Pages sites. Everything passes through the same redaction filter.

What happens when an anonymized repository expires?

You choose: the mirror is removed, or visitors are redirected to the original GitHub repository once the review is over.
