GitHub Uploader

A Windows desktop app (Rust + egui) for publishing the projects in Desktop\claude-stuff to GitHub, with Claude Code as a helper.

What it does

• Groups every project folder by status: not on GitHub yet, on GitHub, or empty.
• Prepare & upload in one click. Claude tidies the repo (.gitignore, a missing README, description and topics). Then the app checks the files, commits, creates the repository, pushes, and sends invitations. The progress shows step by step, and a result card links to the repo.
• A checklist on each project shows what's ready and what will happen before you upload.
• Creates repositories as private or public under your account or an organization, with a description, website, topics, license and Issues/Wiki/Projects/Discussions switches.
• Manages collaborators: invite people, change their permission level, withdraw invitations, remove access.
• For repos that are already on GitHub: commits and pushes changes, and saves changed settings.
• Runs a pre-flight check before anything is uploaded. It flags files over GitHub's 100 MB limit, secret files (.env, keys), tokens inside files, and dependency or build folders that aren't ignored. Ignore adds a flagged item to .gitignore in one click.
• Uploads several ticked projects in one go, after a review screen where you set each one's visibility.
• Claude tasks: pick any number of them, such as README, .gitignore, secrets review, .env.example, CI workflow, code review or explanation. You can add your own saved prompts and extra instructions, then run them all as one request on one project or on every ticked project.
• Settings set the Claude model and the defaults for new repositories: visibility, license, people to always invite, and whether Claude prepares repos first.

Requirements

• Git
• GitHub CLI, signed in with gh auth login
• Claude Code, for the ✨ features (optional)

Building

cargo build --release

The executable is target\release\githubuploader.exe; the copy the desktop shortcut runs is dist\GitHub Uploader.exe. With the GNU Rust toolchain, MinGW's dlltool and windres (which embeds the icon from assets\icon.ico) must be on PATH. WinLibs provides both.

Settings live in %APPDATA%\githubuploader\config.json.
