In early June this year, Github launched a project called Octokit, which is a new collection of Github API client libraries that allows developers to access the Github API using their preferred programming language.
Initially, the Octokit project only included clients for Ruby and Objective-C. Today, the .NET developer client (Octokit.net) has also joined the Octokit family.
Octokit.net requires .NET 4.5 or higher and is primarily used for GitHub for Windows, providing an asynchronous API based on HttpClient.
The Octokit.NET project: [https://github.com/octokit/octokit.net](https://github.com/octokit/octokit.net)
It can also be used via NuGet. For Reactive Extensions (Rx) users, Github offers a component package based on IObservable —— Octokit.Reactive.
