WTF is GhRI?

GhRI an attempt to be a package downloader (and maybe a package manager in the future) for the entirety of GitHub. It is written in C# and uses the Octokit.Net library to interact with the GitHub API. It currently is not able to compile binaries by itself, but a custom automatic build system is in the works.

Why tho?

This project came about when I thought about what would happen if I combined the AUR with GitHub. I use macOS, and because Brew does not have everything that other package managers do, I often find myself compiling software I found on GitHub manually. GhRI is hopefully going to fix this issue. While it currently is only a binary downloader, I hope to extend its functionality in the future.
