The easiest way to share & monetize private Github repos
Generate sharable links, manage user access, monetize your code and share your private repositories securely. Disable cloning and always keep your code on Github.
Hey hunters! I'm Jacob, a co-founder at Repobear.
Bit of a back story... I'm a full stack developer in NYC and have been building a developer Youtube channel over the past year. I came across the need to share private repositories with a large number of people and realised there's just no super clean way to achieve this...
So we built Repobear.
With Repobear you can generate sharable links, manage user access, accept payments and share your private repositories securely at scale. You can even disable cloning. Boom.
You might be wondering what specific use cases you'd use Repobear? Here's some examples...
1. You have a killer web app you're working on in secret. You want to share a link to a handful of recruiters as you apply to jobs but there's no way to know each recruiter's Github email. Simply generate a share link and you're good to go.
2. You upload developer tutorials to a large Youtube following and want to paywall access to a basket of repositories. You set the price to a one-time-fee of $17.
3. You want to share your startup's private codebase with a few VC firms prior to a raise. You're not sure who specifically needs access but you can keep track of who is accessing your code within the Repobear dashboard. You also want to prevent cloning so you'd rather not assign collaborator access inside Github.
4. You want to share code with peers. But you don't want them to clone the repo. You simply generate a URL and disable cloning.
5. You want to share a private repository with a specific company. Limit access to only those who are part of a certain domain (eg. [email protected])
+ and the list goes on.
