def validate_token(token: str) -> bool:
  try:
    payload = jwt.decode(
      token, SECRET, algorithms=["HS256"])
    return payload["exp"] > time.time()
  except:
    return False

⚡ GitHelper · Explain

This function validates a JWT token by decoding it with a secret key. It returns True only if the token is valid and not expired — otherwise catches any error and safely returns False.

Questions

Good. We've got answers.

Do I need an OpenAI account? +

Yes — GitHelper is BYOK. Your code is sent directly from your browser to OpenAI. We never see it.

Does it work on private repos? +

Yes — it reads whatever code is visible in your browser. Private repo code you can access in GitHub works fine.

How does the selection work? +

Highlight any code on a GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket page. A toolbar appears — click Explain, Comment, Improve, or Audit.
