Released on June 11, 2026, ghorgsync v0.3.6 introduces a highly requested improvement to how personal accounts are synced. This update makes it simpler than ever to maintain a complete local mirror of your GitHub presence, including those private projects that were previously left behind in User Mode.

What’s new

The standout feature of this release is the intelligent handling of private repositories when operating in “User Mode.”

Previously, when you configured ghorgsync to sync a specific user account, the tool would only retrieve public repositories. In v0.3.6, the tool now automatically detects if the authenticated token owner matches the user being synced. If they match, ghorgsync seamlessly switches to a specialized API endpoint that allows it to see and clone your private repositories.

If you are syncing a third-party account, the tool continues to behave as expected by retrieving only public repositories, with added verbose logging to clarify why private repositories are skipped in those instances.

Why it matters

For many developers, their most critical work happens in private repositories. Having to manage those separately from your public portfolio defeated the purpose of a “one-command sync.”

By automating the detection of the authenticated user, ghorgsync removes the friction of managing different sync rules for public and private work. As long as your GitHub token has the necessary repo scopes, your entire personal workspace—public and private—is now synchronized with a single command.

Get started

Upgrading to the latest version is straightforward. Run the following command to install v0.3.6:

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

Once updated, simply run your usual sync command, and your private repositories will be automatically included in the process.
