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

# From source (compile)
cargo install gor-cli

# Prebuilt binary, no compile step
cargo binstall gor-cli

# Homebrew
brew install gor

Other options (installer script, Docker image) are published with each release.

Quick start
