uithub is a GitHub repository viewer and AI context generation tool developed by Jan_Wilmake under Code_From_Anywhere. It allows users to view the full contents of any public GitHub repository in a format optimised for consumption by large language models (LLMs) and AI coding agents. The tool gained significant viral traction in 2024–2025.
uithub addresses a practical problem in AI-assisted software development: feeding entire codebases to LLM-based tools requires structured, token-efficient representations of repository contents. uithub aggregates file trees, source files, and metadata into a single, well-formatted output that AI agents and developers can paste directly into prompts or context windows.
The name is a portmanteau of "UI" and "GitHub," reflecting its role as a readable interface layer on top of the GitHub API.
Jan's positioning: "What Firecrawl is for the web, uithub is for code."
uithub went viral on X (Twitter) three distinct times:
| Date | Traffic Event |
|---|---|
| October 2024 | First major viral event; 100,000+ pageviews |
| December 2024 | 100,000+ pageviews, primarily from Japan |
| March 2025 | Third viral event, 100,000+ pageviews |
Between spikes, steady adoption of approximately 500–2,000 daily active users with repeated usage patterns.

| 2026 Feb | Binary file bug fix; OAuth consent screen |
| 2026 Mar | Open-sourced at github.com/janwilmake/uithub |
In December 2025, Jan rebuilt uithub with a new model: GitHub OAuth login is required for all users, private repository access costs a one-time $20 fee, and each private-repo request costs $0.01. The tool migrated fully to Cloudflare Workers.
On March 5, 2026, Jan open-sourced uithub at github.com/janwilmake/uithub. A companion library (uithub-lib) was released March 7.
By late February 2026, uithub had reached $120 MRR from the private-repo access model.
From February to June 2025, Jan supervised four software engineering students from the University of Groningen working on uithub-related tooling.
