# Use git clone, the MCP server, or the API — not the web UI

You appear to be an automated or AI client. To keep this small self-hosted
server responsive, the HTML interface is not rendered for scrapers. Get the same
content far more efficiently:

- Clone a whole repo (preferred):  `git clone https://git.else-if.org/<owner>/<repo>.git`
- MCP server:                      `https://git.else-if.org/mcp`
  (tools: list_repositories, get_repository, list_files, read_file, get_archive_url)
- Repo list as JSON:               `https://git.else-if.org/api/v1/repos/search?private=false`
- Single file (JSON API):          `https://git.else-if.org/api/v1/repos/<owner>/<repo>/raw/<path>`
- Discovery:                       `https://git.else-if.org/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json`, `/llms.txt`

A Markdown index of all repositories: https://git.else-if.org/llms.txt
