FAQ from Flash-GitHub

What can Flash-GitHub do?

It offers tools for searching, creating, reading, listing, and syncing GitHub repositories, as well as comparing local directories with remote repositories.

What dependencies are required?

Python 3 and the packages listed in requirements.txt; a GitHub API token stored in a .env file.

Where does data live?

All repository data resides on GitHub; the server only acts as an intermediary via the GitHub API. Local directories are used for pull/push/compare operations.

What transport or authentication does it use?

The README specifies using a GitHub API token (set via the GITHUB_API_TOKEN environment variable) for authentication. Transport details are not given beyond the MCP framework.

Are there known limitations?

The README does not mention any limits or restrictions beyond requiring a valid GitHub API token.
