FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about how ReadmeMD works.
Does it require an AI API key?
No. The core generator works entirely from real repository data using the public GitHub API. AI integration is optional for users who want to provide their own key, but the default experience requires zero configuration.
Does it work with private repositories?
No. ReadmeMD only accesses public repositories through the public GitHub API. It does not attempt to access private repositories and never asks for your GitHub credentials or tokens.
What languages and frameworks are supported?
ReadmeMD detects JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, Java, PHP, C#, Ruby, Swift, and many more. It also detects frameworks like React, Next.js, Vue, Angular, Django, Flask, FastAPI, Spring, Laravel, and .NET.
Does it modify my repository?
No. ReadmeMD only reads public repository data through the GitHub API. It never writes to, commits to, or modifies any repository. You download the README and decide what to do with it.
Is my code uploaded anywhere?
No. ReadmeMD fetches public repository metadata and key files through the GitHub API directly in your browser. Your code is never uploaded to any server. The only network requests are to the GitHub API and your own optional AI provider if configured.
Can I edit the generated README?
Yes. The generator includes a built-in editor with a live GitHub-style preview. You can switch between Preview, Raw, and Edit tabs to modify the Markdown before copying or downloading.
Can I download the Markdown?
Yes. You can copy the generated Markdown to your clipboard or download it as a README.md file with one click.
