Octokit is a family of client libraries for the GitHub API. Back in May, we released Octokit libraries for Ruby and Objective-C.
Today we’re releasing the third member of the Octokit family, Octokit.net, the GitHub API toolkit for .NET developers.

Octokit.net is used in GitHub for Windows and provides an async-based API using HttpClient. Octokit.net requires .NET 4.5 or later.
The “Octokit” package is available through NuGet. For Reactive Extensions (Rx) fans, we also have an IObservable-based “Octokit.Reactive” companion package.
We can’t wait to see what you’ll build with it.
