You know that feeling when you’re writing a technical article and need to reference that one specific function from your 200+ GitHub repositories? Yeah, me too. GitHub’s search UI is pretty bad and slow. You tend to get a full refresh when choosing a directory and many other annoying issues.

So last weekend, I did what any reasonable developer would do: I vibe coded my own solution with Claude Code. Meet HypetGit.app a lightning-fast GitHub file search that actually works the way developers think.

The Problem That Started It All

I write a lot. Like, a lot. Technical articles, documentation, tutorials, and I’m constantly referencing my own code. My workflow looked something like this:

  1. Open GitHub or Xcode or Cursor
  2. Navigate to my repositories (200+ of them)
  3. Click into a repo
  4. Use GitHub’s search (wait…)
  5. Get frustrated with the results
  6. Manually browse folders
