How do I shorten a GitHub repo or issue link?
Paste any GitHub URL into Reqlick, whether it is a repository, issue, pull request, Gist, or a specific file. Replace the long path with a slug like /docs or /roadmap, and use your own domain if you connect one. The short link fits slides, posts, and printed conference material, and Reqlick tracks clicks.
Can I see where traffic to my GitHub repo comes from?
Reqlick shows the referral source, country, and city for clicks on your GitHub short link, such as Hacker News, a dev blog, X, or a README. GitHub's traffic page covers all repo visitors, while Reqlick shows the clicks from the specific links you shared. Use separate links per post to compare launches.
How do I keep a documentation link working when my repo moves?
Put a Reqlick short link, not the raw GitHub URL, in READMEs, docs, blog posts, and talk slides. If you rename the repo, move it to an organization, or want to point at a new release or branch, edit the destination once. Every copy of the link, including old slides and articles, then opens the right place.
Can developers create GitHub short links through the Reqlick API?
Yes. API access is included on every Reqlick plan, starting with Starter at $15 a month and 150 short links. Pro raises that to 1,000 links and Business to 25,000, which matters if your release scripts create a link for each version. All plans include unlimited redirects.
