GitHub Repo Redirect

Use this service from GitHub-rendered links, such as contact_links in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml, to redirect to a path in the same repository.

It is especially useful for, and made for, GitHub default community health files, where the same config can be shared across repositories in an organization.

When users click it, the browser includes a Referer header used to determine the GitHub repository.

Set a query parameter path with the desired path in the repository.

Example .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml:

blank_issues_enabled: false
contact_links:
  - name: Ask a question
    url: https://repo-redirect.fastapicloud.dev/github?path=/discussions/categories/questions
    about: Ask questions in GitHub Discussions.
