Accessing GitHub Repositories

Git clone is blocked in containerized AI environments (egress proxy rejects CONNECT tunnel), but full repository access is available via GitHub REST API and raw file URLs.

Quick Start

Public Repos (no setup needed)

# Individual file via raw URL
curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OWNER/REPO/BRANCH/path/file"

# Directory tree via API
curl -sL "https://api.github.com/repos/OWNER/REPO/git/trees/BRANCH?recursive=1"

Private Repos or Write Access

Requires GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT). See Setup section below.
