Bruno Borges is an independent software developer who publishes open-source tools through his GitHub presence at github.com/brunoborges. His catalog in this collection consists of a single product, ghx, a caching proxy designed for the GitHub CLI. The tool addresses a common performance problem in development environments where the GitHub command-line interface is invoked repeatedly: rather than issuing a fresh network request each time, ghx intercepts and caches responses so that repeated commands return instantly. A notable feature is its use of singleflight coalescing, which ensures that when multiple processes or agents request the same data simultaneously, only one upstream request is made while all callers share the result. This makes ghx particularly well suited to modern automated workflows, such as CI/CD pipelines, scripting environments, and setups involving multiple AI coding agents or parallel build jobs that would otherwise hammer the GitHub API with redundant calls and risk hitting rate limits. The product falls squarely into the developer tooling category, sitting at the intersection of command-line utilities, API optimization, and workflow automation. Typical use cases include accelerating shell scripts that query repositories, issues, or pull requests; reducing latency in agent-driven coding assistants that rely on GitHub metadata; and lowering API quota consumption for teams running frequent automated queries. By focusing on a narrow, well-defined problem and solving it transparently as a proxy layer, ghx exemplifies the kind of small, composable utility that developers can drop into existing toolchains without changing how they invoke the GitHub CLI, gaining speed and reliability with minimal configuration effort.
A caching proxy for the GitHub CLI that makes repeated commands instant. Singleflight coalescing means 10 agents asking the same thing triggers just 1 API call.
