Repository home

The repository home page is the landing page for a repository. It shows the files at the root of the repository, renders the README beneath them, and gives you the controls you use most often: a branch selector, the clone URLs, and buttons to star or watch the repository.

Where to find it

  • URL: gitvetrix.com/{owner}/{repo}
  • Navigation: Select any repository from the Repositories page, from a search result, or from a link to open its home page.

Browse the files

  1. The file list appears near the top of the page, with the columns Name, Last commit, and Age. Folders are listed first, then files.
  2. Select a folder to open it, or select a file to view its contents.
  3. Beneath the file list, the repository's README is rendered so you can read it without opening the file.

If the repository has no commits yet, the file list is replaced by a Get started with panel that explains the repository is empty and shows a Quick setup block of commands for pushing your first commit.

Switch branches

  1. Select the branch selector above the file list. It shows the current branch, starting with the repository's default branch.
  2. Start typing to filter the list, then select a branch to view its files and README.

Copy the clone URL

  1. Select Clone above the file list to expand the clone details.
  2. The HTTPS and SSH clone URLs each appear on their own row.
  3. Select the copy button next to the URL you want. The URL is copied to your clipboard.

Star or watch a repository

  • Select Star to add the repository to your stars; the button changes to Starred, and the count next to it updates. Select it again to remove your star.
  • Select Watch to follow the repository's activity; the button changes to Watching, and the count next to it updates. Select it again to stop watching.

The meta row beneath these buttons shows the star and watcher counts and links to Commits, Branches, Tags, and Branch Graph for the repository.

See who is watching

The watchers page lists everyone who is watching the repository.

  • URL: gitvetrix.com/{owner}/{repo}/watchers

Each row shows a person's name and username; select a row to open that person's profile. The count next to the Watchers heading tells you how many people are watching, and the list is split across pages when there are many. When nobody is watching, the page shows No watchers yet and reminds you to select Watch on the repository page to follow updates.
