Frequently Asked Questions

It is currently not possible to download an anonymized repository neither to clone it. It is technically possible to implement however it would require additional processing power and storage. I am currently not able to cover the cost of this feature. If you want to see this feature on Anonymous GitHub, please consider doing a donation.

  • Anonymous GitHub does not allow to download the repository.
  • Anonymous GitHub only anonymizes textual files.
  • Anonymous GitHub does not support files that are larger than 8Mo.
  • The anonymization can change the behavior of the program.

Anonymous Github is able to display pure textual files, such as text or source code. It can also render images, PDFs, and notbooks. However, only textual based files are anonymized. Anonymous Github considers the following file format as textual:

Anonymous Github is free to use, however the server costs me hundreds of dollars per year, a small donation to cover to cost is largely appreciated. You can support me financially by Sponsoring my GitHub account, send me money thought Ko-fi or by clicking on the "Support me" button.

The data stored on Anonymous Github are never used or shared in any cases. When a repository is removed or expired only the configuration of the repository is conserved to be able to restore easily the repository and to ensure that no future repository will use the same repository id.

The viewers of the repository are not tracked, only the number of view of the repository is collected (a single incremental digit). It is not possible for the repository owner neither for Anonymous GitHub to track down the identity of the viewer.

Anonymous GitHub is fully open source and the deployment of a new instance is relatively easy. More information can be found on the GitHub repository of the project.
