Which GitHub links can LinkStack open?

LinkStack supports Profiles and repositories, Individual issues and pull requests, and Individual repository discussions. Paste the original public URL and LinkStack keeps that page available as the fallback.

What happens if GitHub is not installed?

The visitor can continue to the original GitHub web page. The public LinkStack URL still works, so you do not need a separate desktop or fallback link.

Does the same deep link work on desktop?

Yes. Desktop visitors continue to the original GitHub page while supported mobile devices can try the app-first path.

Why deep link GitHub?

Share a project or conversation with a direct app handoff on supported phones. Code files, repository settings, and unsupported profile tabs stay on the web.

Share profiles and repository homepages
Link directly to an issue or pull request
Keep the same GitHub page as fallback

What you can open in GitHub

Use the normal public URL. LinkStack recognizes the destination, creates the app-first path, and keeps the original page as the fallback.

Profiles and repositories
Individual issues and pull requests
Individual repository discussions

What happens after the tap

01
Recognize the destination
LinkStack recognizes the supported GitHub URL and keeps the original page intact.
02
Try the app-first route
On a supported mobile device, the click can move into GitHub instead of stopping at mobile web.
03
Keep the fallback ready
If the app handoff is unavailable—or the visitor is on desktop—the original GitHub page is still there.

Where GitHub deep links help

Use them anywhere a normal mobile-web stop would slow down the action you want next.

Project sharing

Give visitors one link to a GitHub profile or repository from your bio, site, or messages.

Code review conversations

Open a specific pull request in GitHub Mobile so collaborators can find the review.

Issue discussions

Send collaborators to an individual issue or repository discussion with its web fallback intact.

Sharing this link inside a social app?

TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and Threads can trap clicks in built-in browsers. LinkStack can show a recovery step before normal routing, app handoff, attribution, and analytics continue.
