Turn your Git notes into Anki flashcards with AI
Upload a PDF, slide deck, or photo of a page and get flashcards you can review with spaced repetition. No credit card needed to start.
How AI flashcards work for Git and GitHub study
If you came looking for an open-source Anki flashcard generator on GitHub, you probably want a faster way to turn lecture slides, documentation, or course notes into cards without typing each one by hand. DeckOwl reads PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain notes, and photos of pages, then writes flashcards you can review with spaced repetition.
- Upload course notes or a documentation chapter, not just a link to it.
- Keep each card to one command or concept so reviews stay quick.
- Use spaced repetition so Git commands stick well past the first week.
- Export to Anki on Plus if you already keep your decks there.
Any source file
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes, or photos of pages. Images are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition
Cards come back on a schedule that adjusts to what you forget, so your time goes to the hard ones.
Anki export
On Plus, export to Anki or CSV and keep studying in the app you already use.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, notes file, or image of a page.
Generate and check
Review the flashcards, edit any unclear ones, and keep the ones you want.
Study or export
Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki on Plus.
For developer topics like Git, the most useful cards are short and specific: one command, one concept, one clear answer. Generate a set from your own cheat sheet or a Git handbook chapter, then review the weak cards daily until the commands come up without thinking.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for learning Git commands?
Start with 20 to 40 cards covering the commands you use daily, such as clone, commit, push, pull, and branch. Add more once those feel automatic.
Should I learn Git before opening GitHub pull requests?
Yes, a basic grasp of commits, branches, and merging makes pull requests much easier to follow. Cards on those core ideas are a good place to start.
Can I export flashcards to Anki for free?
The free plan lets you study in the browser, but exports to Anki are included in Plus. Plus is $39 per year or $7.99 per month, and students get 40% off with a school email.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No, you can start on the free plan without a credit card. It includes 3 generations per month.
