# GitHub Repo File Spider

![Tool icon](https://tools.karlquinsland.com/tools/html/github-repo-file-spider/images/tool-icon.svg)

Scan a GitHub repo, user, or organization for required files (for example
`renovate.json` or `.github/CODEOWNERS`) and get fast match stats.

[Open the tool](https://tools.karlquinsland.com/tools/html/github-repo-file-spider/tool.html).

## What It Checks

- Target: one repo (`owner/repo`) or all accessible repos under a user/org.
- File set: comma/newline separated paths.
- Policy mode:
  - `Any file` means at least one listed file marks a repo as matched.
  - `All files` means every listed file must exist for a match.

## Personal access tokens (PATs)

GitHub API limits unauthenticated requests quickly. Provide a PAT when scanning
larger orgs or private repos.

- Token is stored only in `localStorage` on your browser.
- Use the tool's `Clear token` button to remove it.
- Token is never written into the URL state.
