GitHub QR Code Generator — Repositories, Gists & Developer Profiles

Share open source repositories at hackathons, tech meetups, and on printed developer resumes.

Share Open Source Repositories with a GitHub QR Code

Sharing open source code repositories or developer profiles at hackathons, tech meetups, and developer conferences shouldn't require typing complex GitHub URLs. A GitHub QR Code gives attendees, collaborators, and recruiters instant access to your source code, README docs, and commit history.

Hackathon & Open Source Promotion

Hackathon Presentation Slides: Display a repository QR code on your live demo slides so judges can inspect the codebase and star the repo while you pitch.
Printed Resumes & CVs: Let hiring managers inspect clean code samples, GitHub contribution graphs, and open source PRs.
Hardware & IoT Projects: Attach a QR code sticker to Raspberry Pi or Arduino projects linking directly to setup scripts and documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of GitHub links can I use?

You can use any valid GitHub URL, including links to user profiles, repositories, specific commits, gists, or organization pages.

Does the QR code open the GitHub app?

When scanned on a mobile device, the QR code will typically prompt the user to open the link in the native GitHub app if installed, or in their default web browser.

Can I track how many times my GitHub QR code is scanned?

Static QR codes do not have built-in tracking. However, you can use a URL shortener with analytics before generating the QR code to track scan metrics.

Do I need to update the QR code if I rename my repository?

Yes, if you change the URL of your repository (e.g., by renaming it or changing your username), the original QR code will no longer work unless GitHub automatically redirects the old URL to the new one.
