Everything you need to know about Gitsink in one place.
What is Gitsink?
Gitsink is a tool that transforms your GitHub projects into a powerful API, perfect for showcasing your work across multiple platforms. It automatically syncs with your repositories and provides structured data that you can use on websites, applications, bots, and more.
How do I use Gitsink?
Using Gitsink is simple: 1) Log in with GitHub to authenticate securely, 2) Add a Portfolio.md file to your repositories to provide context and additional details, 3) Access your projects via our API using either GraphQL or REST endpoints. That's it! Your projects are now available wherever you need them.
What platforms can I showcase my projects on?
Gitsink works with virtually any platform that can consume an API. This includes websites, bots (like Telegram), plugins, social profiles (Twitter, Twitch, Discord), and any other platform that can make API requests. The flexibility of our API means you can showcase your work anywhere you want.
Is Gitsink free?
Yes, Gitsink is free for early users who join the waitlist. We're committed to providing a generous free tier even after our official launch, ensuring that developers can showcase their work without barriers.
How is my data secured?
Your data is protected with secure API keys that you control. We only request read access to your repositories, and you can specify exactly which projects are accessible through the API. Your API key is unique to you and can be regenerated at any time for security purposes.
Can I use Gitsink for commercial projects?
Absolutely. Gitsink is built for all developers, whether you're working on personal or commercial projects. You can use it to showcase client work, company projects, or anything else you've built.
Is there a limit to how many projects I can showcase?
No, you can sync all your public GitHub projects. For private repositories, you can choose which ones to make visible through the API without exposing the actual code. This gives you complete control over what you showcase.
Do I need coding skills to use Gitsink?
A basic understanding of APIs is helpful, but we make it easy to get started. Our documentation includes examples for both GraphQL and REST, and we provide code snippets for common use cases. If you can write a simple Portfolio.md file, you can use Gitsink effectively.
What information can I include in my Portfolio.md file?
Your Portfolio.md file can include custom metadata beyond what GitHub provides, such as project categories, featured status, demo links, technologies used, screenshots, documentation links, and any custom fields you want to add. This allows you to provide rich context for your projects.
How often does Gitsink sync with my GitHub repositories?
Gitsink automatically syncs with your GitHub repositories whenever changes are detected. This ensures that your project showcase is always up-to-date with the latest information without any manual intervention.
