Why use a GitHub QR

A dedicated GitHub QR removes typing friction and looks intentional on marketing materials.
Choose static for permanent links; dynamic when you need edits or analytics.
Always test-scan before a full print run.

Steps

github.com/user or github.com/user/repo. Example: https://github.com/vercel/next.js
Open the Studio and paste the link into the URL field (or choose WiFi / vCard when relevant).
Optional: enable a dynamic QR code to edit the destination later and track scans.
Customize colors or add your logo, then download PNG or SVG. Check print size before a large run.

Best practices

Link the repo README for projects; profile for personal branding.
Use high-contrast black codes on light slide backgrounds.

Common mistakes

Unclear destination with no caption
Low contrast or missing quiet zone
Wrong size for the viewing distance
