Read the repository where you write
Open a GitHub repository by URL inside Mark It Down, read its Markdown with the same renderer as your notes, and quote what you want to keep into Inbox.
A repository you read, not a folder you download
Documentation lives in repositories, and reading it usually means a browser tab, a clone, or both. Repository Reader opens one from the header book icon and renders it in the workspace you were already writing in.
- Browse Any GitHub Repository — Open a public repository by URL from the header book icon. Private repositories work with a personal access token
- File Tree Search — Filter the file tree by path or filename; folders containing a match expand automatically
- Unified Renderer — Markdown files render with the same engine as your notes: math, diagrams, code highlighting, GitHub Alerts, and images
Follow the links, not the file list
A repository is a set of documents that point at each other. The reader shows those connections while you read, so you can follow an argument through the tree instead of guessing at filenames.
- Backlinks + Hover Preview — The right panel lists files that link to the one you're viewing. Hovering a link shows the target file's title and an excerpt
- Link Graph — Outline or radial view of how loaded files link to each other, in the file sidebar panel — same engine as Note Graph
- Ctrl+K File Switcher — Jump to any loaded file by name without leaving the keyboard
Take the paragraph, leave the repository
Reading is Entry, not the end of it. What you quote lands in Inbox as an ordinary Markdown note with its origin attached, ready to be rewritten in your own words.
- Quote to Inbox — Select text in the preview and save it as a note, with the source URL, repository, branch, and file path recorded in frontmatter
- Back/Forward Navigation — Header buttons and Alt + arrow keys retrace files you've already opened in the session
- Pinned Repository Auto-Load — Pin a repository from the history dropdown and it reopens automatically the next time you open Repository Reader
