Using files

You can understand the relationships within and across repositories by navigating code directly in GitHub.

Explore file content and trace changes over time to understand a new codebase and its evolution.

When viewing a file on GitHub, you can press the "y" key to update the URL to a permalink to the exact version of the file you see.

You can download a snapshot of the code in your repository.

GitHub supports rendering and diffing in a number of non-code file formats.
