Accelerate GitHub browsing, release downloads, and Git operations from desktop.
DevSidecar uses DNS selection, a local proxy, and SNI handling to improve access to GitHub pages, source files, releases, and Git clone operations, and it can also proxy npm or switch registries. Its default mode installs a locally generated root certificate and enables interception. A certificate-free safety mode is available, but it offers fewer capabilities and less consistent connectivity.
