Step-by-Step: ZIP → GitHub in 5 Seconds

Open zip2git.online in any modern browser.
Click Connect Now and paste your GitHub Personal Access Token (with repo scope).
Drag-and-drop your .zip file into the Browse Files area.
Choose Create New Repo or Update Old Repo, set the name, toggle public/private.
Hit 🚀 Push to GitHub. Done.

💡 Pro tip: Zip2Git auto-detects sensitive files like .env, .pem, and SSH keys, and warns you before pushing. Your secrets stay yours.

Where do I get a GitHub Personal Access Token?

Go to github.com/settings/tokens → Generate new token (classic) → check the repo scope → set an expiry → copy the token (starts with ghp_ or github_pat_). Paste it into Zip2Git when prompted.

Common questions

Is Zip2Git safe? Yes. The entire upload happens client-side using JSZip + the GitHub REST API. We never see your code, your token, or your files. Open the browser DevTools Network tab if you want to verify it yourself.

What's the maximum ZIP size? Browsers handle up to ~500 MB comfortably. Larger archives may need to be split.

Does it work on mobile? Yes — Zip2Git also has a native Android/iOS app via Expo. Push ZIPs straight from your phone.
