プロジェクトの歴史

The public GitHub repository was created in December 2009 under Mislav Marohnić's account, and the project later lived at the canonical github/hub repository while retaining the mislav/hub URL as an official repository redirect. The documentation describes hub as an extension to command-line Git, and its manual groups commands into Git commands that hub extends and GitHub-specific commands that hub adds.

hub occupied an important pre-gh niche: it made GitHub feel native inside a Git workflow before GitHub's separately branded gh CLI became the official general-purpose GitHub CLI. The hub README acknowledges gh as GitHub's more user-facing CLI while preserving hub's role as a lightweight Git wrapper and scripting tool.

採用の歴史

hub spread through developer package managers because it matched an everyday GitHub workflow rather than a narrow build-time need. The Homebrew formula metadata for this batch lists packages across Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, openSUSE, MacPorts, Nix, Scoop, Chocolatey, winget, and other ecosystems, while the project README documents similarly broad install paths.

使われ方

Typical use is interactive and scriptable: users alias hub as git, clone repositories by GitHub shorthand, fork or create repositories, open pull requests, inspect issues, publish releases, or drop to `hub api` for raw GitHub REST or GraphQL calls. Configuration and OAuth credentials are stored under the XDG-style hub configuration path unless a token is supplied through the environment.

パッケージ好きにとっての重要性

For package nerds, hub is a classic example of a small CLI that became distribution-worthy by wrapping an existing universal tool instead of replacing it. It also records a period in GitHub tooling history when third-party and community-maintained command-line clients filled gaps that later became first-party platform features.
