How Does it Work?

When a request hits an rxgithub.com URL, the user-agent is matched against a list of well-known bot user-agents. If the request appears to be from a bot, an HTML webpage is shown with all the required <meta> tags for Open-Graph compatibility. Otherwise, browser users are redirected to the original GitHub URL.

A HEAD request is made to the associated raw.githubusercontent.com URL to determine the Content-Type and it shows the appropriate <meta> tags for the content.

If the content is either code or an SVG, the server generates an image on the fly to serve to the open-graph crawler.
