ghorgsync v0.4.3 is now available as of August 28, 2026. This is a focused bug-fix release that improves the accuracy of user-mode repository discovery so syncs match what users actually own.

ghorgsync is a CLI for non-destructively cloning and keeping local copies of GitHub organization or user repositories in sync. v0.4.3 tightens the user-mode behavior to prevent unintended processing of repositories the authenticated user can access but does not own.

What’s new

User repository owner scoping is now correct. Previously, user-mode syncs called GitHub’s /user/repos endpoint without an affiliation filter, which returned repositories where the user is an owner, collaborator, or organization member. ghorgsync now calls GET /user/repos?affiliation=owner, so only repositories owned by the authenticated user are included in user-mode syncs.

The documentation in docs/USAGE.md has been updated to reflect the new query and the clarified behavior, and tests have been updated to assert the affiliation=owner parameter is used.

This release also includes a maintenance update to CI security scanning: CodeQL action versions are bumped to 4.37.8 in the GitHub Actions workflows. There is no runtime impact for users.

Why it matters

For users running ghorgsync in user mode, repository lists now match the intended semantics. Sync runs will no longer attempt to process collaborator or organization-member repositories that are not owned by the user, which reduces noise from warnings and stray content checks and aligns the tool’s behavior with the documented purpose of user-mode operation.

The change is transparent to upgrade. No configuration changes are required, and the sync remains non-destructive.

Upgrade and installation

If you already use ghorgsync, update to v0.4.3 using your preferred package manager or download the latest release assets from the GitHub releases page for UnitVectorY-Labs/ghorgsync. Existing .ghorgsync configuration files continue to work without modification.

If you were seeing unexpected repositories appear in user-mode runs, v0.4.3 corrects the discovery so only owned repositories are managed.
