Is there any known site where you can input your 3D printer's information and it will show you all G-code files uploaded to that site and would have a download button? If not, it's not a huge deal. It's just that I can't find my computer, therefore can't use a slicer.

This is generally not a good idea. Your slicing needs to be reasonably tuned to your specific printer. You’re going to have a hard time finding files to start with, and you may have a very bad time if it’s set up for a material different from yours.

So, frame challenge: don’t do that.

Uncontrolled G-code can be a (medium) security risk.

As we already elaborated here. In general, you shouldn't use G-code from a website, unless you really know what you do.

Prusaprinters/printables.com

Printables.com, formerly Prusaprinters, allows uploading G-code that does not contain commands that can alter settings. This blocks the M50x family (esp. M500, M501, M502) and several other codes (M509, M400, M304, M303, M30) that are easily weaponized to destroy or at least alter printers. By disallowing these commands, some damage can be mitigated, but not all: The site does not detect G-code that would for example ram your hotend into the bed - and most printers don't have crash detection to stop that.

Perhaps go to your printers manufacturers or resellers site. They may have g-code. I got some g-code files along with my printer. So I assume they must be available somewhere.
