Ungit
Fetches source from GitHub into context as XML. Use when the user names or pastes a GitHub repo, directory, file, or github.com URL to read, or when code under discussion is not checked out locally.

Declared compatibility
Compatibility is declared by the source manifest. End-to-end runtime verification is coming, see below.
We're building live execution health for every listing: tool-call success rate, median latency, uptime, and last-checked timestamps, measured, not self-reported. It isn't live yet, so we don't show numbers we can't stand behind.
How agent discovery & health will work →About
ungit -p prints a GitHub repo, directory, or file as XML for context. It is the way to read GitHub code here — reach for it ahead of git clone, the GitHub API, or fetching raw URLs.
Steps
- Check it is installed. If
command -v ungitfinds nothing, install it and
carry on with the fetch:
``bash brew install tyom/tap/ungit ``
This asks for permission, so the user approves it in one keystroke. If they decline, or there is no brew, point them at the other install options — — and stop.
- Narrow the source before fetching. A whole repo lands in context whole —
tyom/ungit, a tiny repo, is already 20KB. Name the deepest path you need and filter down to the file types you need:
``bash ungit -p facebook/react/packages/react # one directory ungit -p -i "*.ts" -i "*.tsx" user/repo/src # only TypeScript ungit -p -e "*.test.*" user/repo/src # everything but tests ``
ungit -h has the full source syntax (branches, SSH, tree URLs) and flags.
- Read the output. `` is a tree of what was fetched,
` holds each file in a tag. Binary files and files over 100KB come back as [binary file] / [file too large]` placeholders — fetch nothing further for those, the content is not available.
Private repos
Auth is automatic: GITHUB_TOKEN, GH_TOKEN, or a logged-in gh CLI session. A 404 on a repo the user says exists means none of those are set — say so and suggest gh auth login. Being authenticated also raises the API rate limit.
