gor

GitHub on Rust

A fast, self-contained GitHub CLI written in Rust.

Why gor?

Pure Rust — no OpenSSL, no system git binary; everything links statically and runs anywhere.
No git subprocess — clones, fetches, and remote detection use gix (gitoxide), so gor works on machines without Git installed.
Cross-platform — first-class Linux, macOS, and Windows binaries, plus musl static builds for containers.
GitHub Enterprise Server support — talk to github.com or your GHES instance from the same tool via --hostname / GH_HOST.
Fast — single static binary, sub-100ms startup, no JVM or Node runtime to warm up.

Install
