Supercharge GitHub Access with Free Mirrors, Proxies, and Hosts Tweaks

1. GitHub Mirror Access

Two popular mirror sites are provided:

https://github.com.cnpmjs.org

https://hub.fastgit.org

These mirrors are full clones of GitHub and can be used for browsing, cloning, and downloading repositories.

2. GitHub File Acceleration

Cloudflare Workers can accelerate GitHub releases, archives, and project files without a server, offering built‑in CDN support.

https://gh.api.99988866.xyz

https://g.ioiox.com

These are demo sites; the source project gh-proxy‑GitHub can be deployed for personal use.

3. GitHub Accelerated Download

Paste any GitHub URL into the input box at http://toolwa.com/github/ to download via a proxy.

4. Accelerate Your GitHub

Visit https://github.zhlh6.cn , enter a repository URL, and obtain a generated address for Git SSH and other operations.

5. Chrome GitHub Acceleration Extension (Recommended)

A Chrome extension is linked for easy acceleration; users can also reply with the keyword github加速 to receive the tool.

6. GitHub Raw Acceleration

Replace raw.githubusercontent.com with raw.staticdn.net to speed up raw file access.

7. GitHub + JsDelivr

JsDelivr can serve static files but cannot fetch executable files or release attachments (e.g., .exe, .dmg) that are not part of the source code.

8. Download via Gitee Fork Transfer

Import a GitHub repository into Gitee (using the "Import from GitHub/GitLab" option), then download the code from the imported Gitee repository.

After import completes, you can refresh the repository to sync with the original GitHub source.

9. Accelerate via HOSTS File Modification

Manually bind CDN IP addresses to hostnames:

Step 1: Obtain the IP for github.global.ssl.fastly.net (e.g., 199.232.69.194).

Step 2: Obtain the IP for github.com (e.g., 140.82.114.4).

Step 3: Edit the hosts file on Windows (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) and add the mappings.

199.232.69.194 github.global.ssl.fastly.net
140.82.114.4 github.com
