Frequently Asked Questions

Does this run automatically when scanned?

No — unlike an executable QR code, the content is human-readable and doesn't run automatically when opened.

Can I link to a specific file or the whole repository?

Either works — you can link to a full repository or a specific file, often on a version control platform like GitHub or GitLab with syntax highlighting.
