Questions, answered
Everything you need to upload, share, collaborate, and publish safely.
What can I upload as source?+
A ZIP or project folder containing source code, documentation, configuration, small datasets, notebooks, diagrams, fonts, design assets, and images. Repository snapshots can be up to 10 MB and are checked for unsafe paths, generated folders, secrets, and executable binaries.
Where do executables go?+
Executable files, APKs, libraries, and installers are never imported from the source ZIP. The owner must publish them manually from the Releases tab. Release assets are separate from source code, can be up to 100 MB each, and are always downloaded as files rather than executed in the browser.
Do I need an account?+
No. Each new repository includes a one-time edit password. Save it to update the source, settings, and releases from this or another browser.
What is the edit password?+
It is a separate owner credential generated when the repository is created. GitDrop shows it once and stores only its hash. The Edit button asks for it before allowing changes; it is not the same as an optional viewer password.
How does password protection work?+
A protected repository requires its password before code, discussions, pull requests, and release downloads become available. Passwords are stored as hashes, never as readable text.
Are pull requests real Git branches?+
They are collaborative change proposals against the uploaded snapshot. The repository owner can review and merge them, which creates a new commit and updates the affected file.
Is it safe to download a release?+
Release files come from repository owners. GitDrop never executes them. Check the publisher, verify supplied checksums, and scan binaries before running them.
