How Weyoto GitGPT Works — A Behind-the-Scenes Looks

Byweyotoadmin

Understand how Custom GPTs securely connect to your GitHub codebase with Weyoto GitGPT — no backend required.

Weyoto GitGPT makes it easy to connect your GitHub repositories to a Custom GPT on ChatGPT — in a way that’s fast, secure, and beginner-friendly.

But how does it actually work?

Let’s walk through the architecture, logic, and flow so you know exactly what happens from the moment you sign up to when your GPT reads a file from your repo.

Step 1: You Create a Weyoto Account

  • You sign in with email-only login (no password)
  • We give you:
    • A permanent API key unique to your account
    • A ready-to-copy GPT schema tailored for GitHub queries

Step 2: You Connect Your GitHub

  • You link your GitHub account securely using OAuth
  • We never ask for tokens or passwords
  • You control what repos are accessible via your connection

Once connected, your account can query only the repos GitHub allows us to read.

Step 3: You Build a Custom GPT

  • In ChatGPT’s GPT Builder:
    1. Paste in the YAML schema from your Weyoto dashboard
    2. Add your API key to the GPT’s authentication settings as x-api-key

This gives your GPT permission to call the Weyoto GitGPT backend on your behalf.

Step 4: Your GPT Makes Live API Calls

When you chat with your GPT, and say things like:

“Scan my repo and list all endpoints” or
“Fetch the README from my API project”

The GPT:

  • Recognizes the intent from your message
  • Triggers the appropriate API call (like fetch_file, list_files, etc.)
  • Uses your API key to identify you and your GitHub connection

Behind the scenes, Weyoto GitGPT:

  • Validates the request
  • Queries GitHub’s API in real time
  • Sends the file/data back to your GPT instantly

No files are stored. Everything is on-demand and ephemeral.

Available GitHub Actions

Your GPT can do all of this via the /github/query endpoint:

  • Get the content of any file
  • See all files in a repo
  • Retrieve the latest commit details
  • See all accessible repos

More actions are coming as GitHub evolves.

Why This Approach Works

  • No backend setup: You don’t need to host anything
  • No sensitive storage: We don’t store your code or tokens
  • No manual config: The schema and API key are ready-to-use

This is what makes Weyoto GitGPT ideal for:

  • Solo devs and indie builders
  • Startups without infra teams
  • AI experimenters and GPT creators

TL;DR: How to Connect Your Custom GPT to GitHub

  1. You sign up and connect GitHub via OAuth
  2. You get a schema + API key
  3. You paste those into your GPT
  4. Your GPT starts querying your real codebase — live

No setup. No storage. Just smarter GPTs.
