Generate a README from any GitHub repository
Paste your repo URL. The AI reads your actual code — files, dependencies, folder structure — and writes a complete README.md. Works on public repos without login and private repos with GitHub OAuth.

What is an AI GitHub README generator?
An AI GitHub README generator automatically creates README.md files directly from a repository. It analyzes your codebase, dependencies, and project structure to write installation instructions, usage examples, feature lists, and other documentation sections — without you having to write them manually.
Unlike template-based tools that give you blank sections to fill in, this tool reads what's actually in your repo. It finds your package manager, detects your framework, reads your config files, and writes content that's accurate to your specific project.

This tool
From repository URL to README.md in four steps
The automatic README generator handles the research. You handle the final review. Paste a URL, the AI reads your codebase, you get a draft — edit what you want, commit when ready.
Connect your repository
Public & private reposPaste any public GitHub repo URL directly. For private repositories, connect your GitHub account via OAuth — the tool reads with your permission, never stores your code.
AI reads your actual code
Real code analysisThe AI scans your files, package dependencies, folder structure, and configuration. It identifies your tech stack — React, Node, Python, Go — and writes from what it finds, not from generic templates.
Get a complete README.md
GitHub-ready outputYou receive a full README with Project Overview, Installation, Usage, Features, Tech Stack, Contributing, and License — structured correctly for GitHub, ready to ship or edit further.
Edit, save, and commit
Direct GitHub commitReview and edit the output inside the built-in editor. Save it to your project list, or commit directly to your GitHub repository without leaving the tool.
Generate README files from private GitHub repos
Connect your GitHub account with OAuth. The tool lists your private repositories alongside public ones. Pick any repo — the AI generates the README the same way, no manual input needed. Your code is read to generate the content and nothing else.
Your repositories
No generation limits with your own key
The tool works on a shared Gemini quota by default. Add your own free Gemini API key from Google AI Studio to remove throttling and generate as many READMEs as you need. The key is stored in your browser only — sent to the server only during generation.
Gemini API Key
Stored locally. Sent to server only when generating.
Commit the README without leaving the tool
After reviewing and editing the generated README, commit it directly to your repository with one click. No copy-pasting into another editor.
Every section a good README needs
The AI writes all standard sections based on what it finds in your repo. Every section is editable before you save or commit.
Works with most GitHub projects
The AI detects your stack from actual files — package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, Cargo.toml, pom.xml. No manual selection needed.
Best results and known limitations
This tool works best on small to medium-sized repositories. AI models have context window limits — very large codebases, enterprise monorepos, or repositories with hundreds of files may not be fully analyzed in one pass.
For large projects, generate documentation per module or per sub-repository for the most accurate output.
