GitHub Plain Text API Access

This skill enables direct access to plain text versions of GitHub content without HTML rendering, perfect for analyzing code changes, reviewing files, and processing GitHub data.

Overview

GitHub provides multiple URL "hacks" that return content in plain text or structured formats:

• PRs & Commits → .diff or .patch files
• File content → Raw text via raw.githubusercontent.com
• Gists → Raw files
• Markdown → Unrendered via ?plain=1
• Feeds → Atom XML for releases and commits
