Integration details
Description
GitHits connects Claude to a version-aware index of open-source code, documentation, and package data across 12 registries (npm, PyPI, Maven, NuGet, crates.io, Go, RubyGems, Composer/Packagist, Hex, SwiftPM, vcpkg, Zig) and 27 languages. Claude reads the source code for the library version you use, not what it remembers from training. No need to clone repositories or read GitHub one raw file at a time. Use GitHits to: * Understand how a library works internally: how a function is implemented, what it does under the hood, and why it behaves the way it does * Search, read, grep, and navigate source files in packages and repositories * Search and read package documentation, APIs, and configuration options * Check a package’s latest version, license, dependencies, and known vulnerabilities * Review changelogs and plan upgrades: what changed and what breaks * Find implementation examples and prior art in open-source projects GitHits indexes the open-source ecosystem your app depends on, not your local workspace or private code.
