I wanted ChatGPT to work with my real local projects without constantly copying files back and forth. RepoTunnel lets ChatGPT read/edit files, run commands, inspect code, debug problems, use Git, and work directly with approved projects on your computer. It works through your own HTTPS endpoint, and RepoTunnel itself adds no monthly connection/request quota. You can keep using your existing ChatGPT conversation without buying a separate OpenAI API key. GitHub: [https://github.com/Yashwanth034/RepoTunnel](https://github.com/Yashwanth034/RepoTunnel) Would love feedback from developers — especially what you’d add or improve.
