Format

ghapp://github.com/{owner}/{repo}
webhttps://github.com/copilot/app/launch?open=ghapp%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2F{owner}%2F{repo}

Try it

ghapp://github.com/octocat/Hello-WorldOpen

What you supply

{owner}

The user or organisation the repository belongs to.

{repo}

Repository name.

The app link mirrors the github.com URL exactly — take the address of the repo in your browser and swap https:// for ghapp://.

ghapp://clone/{owner}/{repo} and ghapp://repo/{owner}/{repo} land on the same screen but always ask before cloning.
