FAQ
How do I feed a GitHub repo to ChatGPT or Claude?
Paste the GitHub URL (a README, issue, PR, or discussion) into Web2MD. It returns clean Markdown with code blocks, headings, and issue threads intact — then paste that into ChatGPT or Claude. This avoids the "I can't access that URL" error you get when pasting a raw github.com link, and it strips the file tree, star counts, and navigation chrome so the model only sees the content that matters.
Does Web2MD keep code blocks and syntax highlighting when converting GitHub?
Yes. GitHub READMEs and issues are already Markdown-native, so Web2MD preserves fenced code blocks with their language tags (```ts, ```python, etc.), tables, task lists, and heading hierarchy. The output is valid Markdown an AI model or your notes app can read without reformatting.
Can I convert a whole GitHub issue thread with all comments?
Yes. Web2MD captures the original issue plus the full comment thread in order, including code snippets and quoted replies, so you can hand an AI the entire discussion — useful for summarizing long bug reports or feature debates.
