# Share links

> Public repository links that open Starcat and locate the shared repo

## What it is

A **share link** is a public `https://starcat.ink/r/{owner}/{repo}` URL you can copy from Starcat. When the recipient has Starcat installed, opening the link should **launch the app and select that repository**.

Share links are for locating a repository inside Starcat—not the same as [share cards](/share-export/share-cards) (image export).

## Typical flow

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open a repository">Select it in Manage, Discover, or My Projects.</Step>
  <Step title="Copy the share link">Use the share / copy-link control in the detail or toolbar (wording follows the app).</Step>
  <Step title="Open on another Mac">Paste into a browser or messenger. With Universal Links / app association configured, Starcat should take over.</Step>
</Steps>

## Link shape

| Form          | Example use                                                                       |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Public HTTPS  | `https://starcat.ink/r/owner/repo?v=1` (optional `rid` for stable GitHub repo id) |
| Local app URL | `starcat://repo/owner/repo` (used by widgets and local integrations)              |

Older links without `rid` still resolve by `owner/name`.

## AI sharing

When creating AI-assisted share material, Starcat can **reuse an existing AI summary**, and you can **cancel** or **regenerate** the share link from the UI.
