GitClassic is a read-only GitHub interface that's pure server-rendered HTML — no JavaScript, no bloat, instant loads. Perfect for AI agents that need to browse repos without dealing with GitHub's heavy client-side rendering.
Use GitClassic when you need to:
Replace github.com with gitclassic.com in any GitHub URL:
# Repository root
https://gitclassic.com/{owner}/{repo}
# File browser
https://gitclassic.com/{owner}/{repo}/tree/{branch}/{path}
# File contents
https://gitclassic.com/{owner}/{repo}/blob/{branch}/{path}
# User/org profile
https://gitclassic.com/{username}
# Search
https://gitclassic.com/search?q={query}
# View a repository
curl https://gitclassic.com/facebook/react
# Read a specific file
curl https://gitclassic.com/facebook/react/blob/main/README.md
# Browse a directory
curl https://gitclassic.com/facebook/react/tree/main/packages
# Search for repos
curl "https://gitclassic.com/search?q=machine+learning"
# View user profile
curl https://gitclassic.com/torvalds

For private repository access, users need a GitClassic PRO subscription ($19/year or $49/lifetime). Authentication is handled via GitHub OAuth on the GitClassic website.
Once authenticated, the agent can access any private repo the user has granted access to using the same URL patterns.
