Octokit.net is a GitHub API client library for .NET Framework 4.6+ and .NET Standard 2.0+. It provides typed, async access to GitHub's REST API, with an optional Reactive Extensions-based client (Octokit.Reactive).

Use cases

• call the GitHub API from a C# application
• fetch user and repository data from GitHub in .NET
• automate GitHub issues and pull requests programmatically
• build a GitHub integration or bot in .NET
• query GitHub API v3 from .NET Standard code
• manage GitHub releases and webhooks from a desktop app

When to choose

• you need typed, well-maintained GitHub API access from .NET or .NET Standard
• you want async/await or Rx-based clients for GitHub endpoints
• you prefer an MIT-licensed library with NuGet distribution

When to avoid

• you need GitHub API access from a non-.NET language
• you only need raw REST calls and prefer a plain HTTP client
• you need GraphQL GitHub API v4 support, which this REST-focused library does not target
