Command:

curl https://git.io/ -i -F "url=https://github.com/YOUR_GITHUB_URL" -F "code=YOUR_CUSTOM_NAME"

URLs that can be created is from:

  • https://github.com/*
  • https://*.github.com
  • https://*.github.com/*
  • https://*.github.io

If you accidentally make a typo in the custom name, you can add .git (only the repository name) or ? at the end in your GitHub URL.

curl https://git.io/ -i -F "url=https://github.com/YOUR_GITHUB_URL.git" -F "code=YOUR_CUSTOM_NAME"
