dezip is a website for browsing source code archives.
to use it, type dezip.org/
in your address bar, then the address of the archive file, like this:
dezip.org/https://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.4.2.tar.gz
discomfort with the centralization of software development into sites like github and gitlab. convenient source code browsing shouldn't be coupled so tightly to repository hosting services.
currently, the following protocols are supported: http://
, and https://
; and the following archive formats, identified by file extension: .zip
, .tgz
, .tar.gz
, .tb2
, .tbz
, .tbz2
, .tar.bz2
, .txz
, and .tar.xz
.
yeah! click the magnifying glass button or press f to bring up the search field. selected text will appear in the field automatically (so you don't have to copy and paste it). press enter to search. j and k move forward and backward through search results.
the latest release is available here, or you can browse the code on github (until we start self hosting).
see BUILD.md for build instructions.
dezip was originally made by ian henderson, and this fork is maintained by jason dsouza
