It works with non GitHub repos, but it’s not as fast. When it detects a GitHub link, it downloads the tarball from GitHub & and separately downloads the specific file linked (or the readme) using JSDelivr as a CDN. This is much faster than a normal clone
When it’s a regular git link, it does a partial clone and opens in your editor.
- Brian_K_White 6y agoThank you. I apologize. I don't know why I got the idea you weren't the author. It's not like the account names don't imply it. I was aggressive because only the day before I too saw github1s and found it mostly pointless and this seemed the same. You have answered both questions though, so, well that's why I phrase challenges as questions, in case my head is up my ass.
