TVAddons Release Git Browser
The TVAddons team released a new GitHub Browser plugin to ease the installation of Kodi TV addons that are hosted at GitHub . Then, TVAddons changed the name to Git Browser when GitHub objected to their name’s inclusion. The Git Browser brings TVAddons closer to keeping their promise to “change how people access streaming media forever.” he new Git Browser makes the browsing and installation of most Kodi addons a breeze, requiring just a bit of research. The GitHub Browser makes it possible to install any Kodi addon from a GitHub repository. TVAddons reports this release attempts to make the Kodi TVAddons community “more resilient and decentralized.”
GitHub
As a web-based platform, GitHub focuses on git distributed version control and source code management, but they go far beyond that. GitHub hosts millions of public and private software development projects. This includes projects from Microsoft, IBM, Facebook, Google, and even NASA.
GitHub Mascot, the Octocat named Mona
Most Kodi developers also make their home on GitHub. Before this addon was released, that potentially made finding your favorite Kodi TV addons both easy and difficult at the same time.
What is GitHub?
The GitHub website is a hosting service for open-source projects and much more. As such, it provides access to various Kodi repositories along with millions of other development projects. Currently, it has almost 28 million users and hosts about 57 million repositories. It is the largest host of source code in the world and not going away anytime soon.
All Kodi developers are volunteers and GitHub users. When launching a new repository or addon, they upload their repository zip file or addon plugin file to GitHub. You can always download the repository directly on Kodi Krypton 17.6, even if the URL link is not working at that moment. Repos and addons are taken offline quite often due to allegations of piracy. This is one of the many reasons the Surfshark VPN is so necessary when using Kodi.
TVAddons GitHub Browser
Using the new GitHub Browser from TVAddons enables anyone to install many Kodi addons. This ease of using the Git Browser depends greatly on your Kodi ability level and googlefoo . If a developer makes their home on GitHub (most do), the GitHub Browser can find their work. It then fetches repos, builds, and TV addons from the developer’s own GitHub repository.
The GitHub Browser gives users a seemingly endless choice of TV addons. It also gives independent developers a very easy way to distribute their addons. Aligning themselves with groups or communities for distribution. Developers sharing their GitHub usernames will make their Kodi TV addons discoverable.
What is Kodi TVAddons GitHub Browser?
GitHub Browser can be used from within the TVAddons Indigo Kodi addon.

Kodi TVAddons GitHub Browser Advantages
Below we will outline a number of benefits obtained from using the TVAddons GitHub Browser. With the installation of one Kodi addon, you can benefit from nearly any Kodi addon hosted on GitHub.
Repository Source URLs No Longer Needed
No need to memorize the repository source URL or install addons from zip files on Kodi. After you install the TVAddons GitHub Browser, all you need to do is type the GitHub username of the developer or maintainer of any repository or addon you wish to install on your Kodi device.
Saves Kodi Firestick Space
Adding repository sources in File Manager consumes a lot of space on your Kodi memory. This consumption of space by repositories can be a major cause of buffering issues in Kodi. GitHub Browser by TVAddons will save you a lot of space because it doesn’t require you to download the source. Instead, the Git Browser only installs the Kodi addon you want.
More Kodi Third-Party Add-on Developer Freedom
Kodi developers can distribute their addons on GitHub without needing to share links to repository URLs. This prevents repositories from being shut down frequently. It also allows developers to work more freely without concern of sabotage.

Git Browser & The Curse of Icarus (or the Ares Project, Revisited?)
The Ares Wizard Once Ruled Kodi
We can hope this new project takes off without becoming its own centralized point of failure. This happened to the Ares Project around the time their Ares Portal Kodi addon was released. The Ares Portal was the Ares Project’s brand new shopping basket Kodi TV addon installer. Many hailed it as a long-awaited, revolutionary new way to install Kodi TV addons. Outside forces pulled it down and plunged it into obscurity soon after launch. Popularity led to the ultimate failure and death of the entire Ares Project.
TVAddons do seem much more tenacious in standing their ground against those who would bring them down. The TVAddons fight has lasted nearly a year against litigious parties mistaking the provision of entertainment tools as the intentionally malicious enablement of pirates.
The TVAddons team tied the GitHub Browser to their Indigo Tool. This seems to point at a few possibilities for failure in the future.
Enjoy the Git Browser from TVAddons while it lasts, and hope it lasts a good long time.
May your streams never run dry!
