## Description
You don't need to install anything to turn a GitHub repo into a superpower — you just change the domain in the URL. I ran 13 of these "URL swaps" against ONE repo (karpathy/nanoGPT) so you can see exactly what each one does, then ranked which ones actually matter.

The whole trick: every GitHub link is github.com / owner / repo. A whole ecosystem of tools copied that exact path — so you leave the /owner/repo where it is and just swap github.com for something else. You're not learning 13 tools. You're learning ONE move, 13 times.

The 3 you'll use this week:
→ Press . (or github.dev) — instant VS Code in your browser, zero setup
→ gitingest.com — flattens the WHOLE repo into one prompt-friendly text you paste into any AI
→ gitmcp.io — turns the repo into a live MCP server so your AI reads the real code and stops hallucinating functions that don't exist

The rest, in order:
→ gitdiagram.com — auto architecture diagram of the whole repo (clickable)
→ deepwiki.com — an auto-generated wiki you can literally ask questions, with citations
→ github.gg — a control panel for the repo (copy-for-AI, security scan, quality score)
→ stackblitz.com — boots the repo in a real dev environment in yo
