On February 25, 2026, we released ghorgsync v0.1.1. This update focuses on improving efficiency for developers managing large numbers of repositories by introducing a highly requested optimization: Clone-Only Mode.

What’s new

The standout feature of this release is the introduction of the --clone flag.

When you run ghorgsync with the --clone flag, the tool enters a streamlined mode that focuses exclusively on bringing your local directory up to date with the organization’s current repository list. In this mode, ghorgsync will identify any repositories you are missing and clone them immediately, while skipping the auditing and updating process for repositories you already have on your machine.

Why it matters

For users working with dozens or hundreds of repositories, a full synchronization can be time-consuming. Performing git fetch, checking for branch drift, and pulling updates across an entire organization’s portfolio takes significant time and resources.

Clone-Only Mode changes the game by allowing you to quickly grab new project repositories without waiting for the tool to verify the state of every existing folder. It suppresses directory auditing and skips the ProcessRepo workflow for existing clones, making your environment setup nearly instantaneous when you only need the latest additions.

Getting started

You can upgrade to v0.1.1 immediately using the Go toolchain:

go install github.com/UnitVectorY-Labs/ghorgsync@latest

Once updated, simply add the --clone flag to your next sync command to experience the speed boost.
