// faq
Questions, answered
Is repo2txt free for commercial use?
It uses a custom license — read the license file before commercial use.
Does it work with private repos?
It is designed around public GitHub URLs; private repos are not its use case.
What about huge repositories?
Very large repos may exceed practical text-file sizes — smaller repos work best.
Is there a hosted version?
Yes — the official site runs it in the browser with no setup.
Which file types are included?
It converts repo contents broadly; check the tool for any exclusion options.
