Uithub Tool Transforms GitHub Repos for AI: A Game-Changer for Developers.
On April 18, 2025, Matt Shumer shared an exciting tool on X that makes working with GitHub repositories easier for AI applications.
By simply changing a GitHub URL from 'github' to 'uithub,' this tool converts the entire repo—its files and folders—into an XML format that large language models (LLMs) can understand.
Developed by Jan Wilmake, an independent researcher focused on AGI and productivity tools, this innovation helps developers quickly analyze, debug, or generate code by feeding the structured repo data into an AI, streamlining coding tasks and boosting productivity.
The developer community on X is buzzing about its potential, with users suggesting extensions for private repos and even generic websites. A new version of the tool is already in the works, promising more features for coders everywhere.
