Yatko
Generate platform-matched download links for GitHub repositories
About Yatko
Yatko turns public GitHub repositories into clean download links. The service matches the right binary based on the visitor's operating system and hardware architecture. You can generate isomorphic links by swapping the github.com domain for yatko.app, jump straight to the download via the /dl path, or call the Link API to return the resolved download URL for CI pipelines and scripts.
