Frequently asked questions
Do I need a GitHub account?+
No. RepoScan only uses public, anonymous GitHub API endpoints.
Can I scan private repos?+
Not yet. Only public repositories are supported.
Why did my scan fail?+
The most common cause is hitting the unauthenticated GitHub rate limit of 60 requests per hour per IP. Try again later.
Is my data stored?+
No. Scans run entirely in your browser. We don't store the repos you look up.
Can I scan multiple repos at once?+
Comparison mode is on the roadmap. For now, scan them one at a time.
What does the health score mean?+
It's a composite based on recent activity, license presence, and documentation signals — useful as a quick sniff test.
